Jelks Preseve 5 Mile Walk
Located in Venice, Florida, Jelks preserve is a wonderful self-guided tour. Included is the route that I took...five miles and I'm proud of it!
There are a total of 19 gates and side area walks throughout the preserve. If you go there, take the map that's in the front. The posted signs as you go along are quite small and can be easy to miss. Also, you may run into some animals. So far I've been able to see an armadillo, vulture, numerous squirrels, and a raccoon. And, don't pass up the view of the Myakka river at marker #2. You can even bring your lunch there and listen to nature.
So, if you're looking for a true Florida preserve, Jelks Preserve in Venice is great and there's no cost for admission. If you have any questions, please comment. I'll be happy to pass on some advice.
