Loblolly Woods Nature Park

Loblolly.jpg

Protecting 159 acres of lushly forested bottomland along the confluence of Possum Creek and Hogtown Creek, Loblolly Woods Nature Park is an urban gem.

At this park–one of ten that make up the City of Gainesville’s Hogtown Creek Greenway–spring wildflowers carpet the forest floor and the namesake loblolly pines are some of the largest in the region.

Bisected by a broad bicycle-friendly path, it’s a place where narrow side trails lead to pretty bluffs above the creeks and sinkholes. Leashed pets welcome. All trails are shared with cyclists.

159 acres
Amenities: parking, restrooms, nature trail, unpaved trail, boardwalk, picnic tables, dogs allowed w/ leash, environmental center, emergency phone, biking allowed on trail
