Description
Terrain: Flat pine woods and oak hammocks. No real bicycle trails but the doubletrack roads are firm and rideable. No hunting allowed.

The Hal Scott Preserve consists of 4600 acres bisected by the Econlockhatchee River. There are approximately 15 miles of good fireroads to explore. Cross the Econlockhatchee on the bridge at Curry's Ford, by wading across wherever it is shallow, or by attempting to make your bike swim! If you're into bird watching I hear it's good (with kites, ospreys, bald eagles and more "swimming in the sky").

Review: This trail was very easy and good trail for Beginners. I guess it had a good scenery a couple years ago, but in many sections of the trail the plants and trees are burned, i guess there was a wildfire in this preserve not long ago, But overall it is a good ride.

Review: Nothing technical, but the Hal Scott Preserve is very scenic with several river/creek crossings. There are 3 campsites that are free and don't require any permits or anything. My girlfriend and I ride have ridden to the sites with a backpack to camp for the night several times now.
