After exploring Sylvan Lake Park in a prior adventure, I decided it was time to go to the part of the park that I had promised would get its own section. Namely the trails that take people over towards Sylvan Lake. Before I traveled towards Sylvan Lake, the park still had one other corner to check out. Towards the back,
I got a chance to explore Sylvan Lake Park at long last. I had put off checking this large complex out for almost a year. Sylvan Lake Park has a lot to see and do. Even compared to normal large parks, this one has a lot to impress. When I first got here almost a year ago and realized the
I explored Spring to Spring Trail North 4 for my next adventure. I started at a bridge crossing railroad tracks, and there was plenty more to be excited about. Spring to Spring Trail North 4 started things off with one of my favorite features on the trail. I’m talking of course about the bridge visible in every one of the
I explored Spring to Spring Trail North 3 for my next adventure. There were some new additions to the landscape, as well as the standard Volusia County Swamps. For the first segment of Spring to Spring Trail North 3 I found the same sort of environment as the last part. This entire section was owned by Duke Energy. And lots

As promised I went on another adventure. Specifically I found an extension to a trail I had explored in the past. Let’s see what I found on Spring to Spring Trail North 1. The Trail Unfortunately the photos for my adventure down Spring to Spring Trail 1 got messed up. The upload order didn’t correlate at all to the order
I was still in Illinois and there was still plenty more to explore around the Des Plaines River Trail. Sedge Meadow Forest Preserve marked the next part. Mile Marker 4.75 I didn’t travel to Sedge Meadow Forest Preserve alone. My brother and father accompanied me on this one. Though they did request no pictures with them included. So you will
Since I was visiting family up in Illinois, I took the opportunity to visit Wadsworth Prairie Nature Preserve. This is the next part of the Des Plaines River Trail. Mile Marker 4 The Wadsworth Prairie Nature Preserve is only safely viewable while hiking the Des Plaines River Trail. No need to have separate posts though so even though I titled
I found that I had not fully explored the Seminole Wekiva Trail. So I returned to check out the extension and see where it went. Mile Marker 16.5 Back in Seminole County meant less swamp and more Mile Markers as I started my adventure down the Seminole Wekiva Trail Extension. Instead of those endless seas of green, I passed fancy
