UnValentine’s Day Hike on Egan’s Creek Greenway Trail

No hearts, no flowers, no chocolates! We’ll meet at the Nature Pavilion behind the Atlantic Avenue rec center and take the green trail south through the salt marsh. After crossing Jasmine Street we’ll take the blue trail through the freshwater ecosystem with a high likelihood we’ll see some gators and plenty of other critters. We’ll switch to the red trail, then loop back up onto the blue trail before heading north back to the rec center. We should get around 3 miles of hiking on relatively flat, easy terrain.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on the trail. Insect repellant is essential.

After the hike, those that wish to can head to La Sureña Mexican restaurant for lunch.

A protected area of over 300 acres that runs north to south along Ron Sapp Egans Creek, the Greenway was opened for public use in the summer of 2000 as an undeveloped park for passive recreational use.

Its grass-covered roads serve as a network of trails that are suitable for walking and bicycling, and its environment exhibits a variety of natural wildlife and vegetation. Local wildlife, such as alligators, snakes, marsh rabbits, and many birds, may be enjoyed from a distance. Benches and interpretive displays are located throughout the Greenway, and restrooms are available at the Nature Pavilion, located at the Greenway entrance behind the Atlantic Recreation Center at 2500 Atlantic Avenue.
