Boyd Hill Nature Preserve (Lake Maggiore)
Details
Where: Boyd Hill Nature Preserve / Lake Maggiore Environmental Education Center
1101 Country Club Way S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705
(Meet at the Education Center entrance)
Cost: $3 adults, $1.50 youth (3–16). Pay inside the Education Center before we start.
Due to renovations, the nature center's exhibits are currently closed to the public. The preserve and trails remain open.
To maximize exploration, we’ll weave together several trails:
- Start on the Main Trail and head into the Center Loop
- Connect to the Saylor Trail and walk down to the Campfire Loop
- Return by taking the Fern Trail back into the Saylor Trail
- Follow the Canal Trail to the Uplands Trail
- Finish back at the Education Center
This route strings together a variety of ecosystems — lakeside views, shady forest, fern-filled lowlands, and upland scrub — for a total of about 3 miles at a relaxed pace.
Please feel free to bring a guest. If they will ride with you there is no need to add them to the RSVP.
