Someone mentioned a walking trail that’s really pretty (Jurassic-park like) that is in or near Sawgrass area. It can be buggy because of all the foliage, but it’s a really nice path to walk? I’m in Hillsborough; if I wanted to take my cart to the sawgrass area to find this path, is there something I could use as a destination that would get me close to that path (for instance a rec center, or restaurant, etc that I could put in the villages GPS for cart path to find it)?

OR does it have a specific name on the path?

Thank you to anyone that may have the info!

As mentioned above, Homestead Rec Center which is down the road a bit from Sawgrass Grove has an elevated, through the swamp walking path that is similar to the one at Fenney and the Sharon Rose Wiechens Preserve.

There are also several nice walking/biking paths near Sawgrass that circle St. Catherine and a walking bridge that connects to Bradford/Chitty Chatty.

Come South in your cart and keep going over the Chitty Chatty Bridge. Once over the bridge, keep going on the cart path until you come to another, much smaller bridge that goes over a small creek. That creek bridge separates Chitty Chatty from Bradford. Once over that small bridge, you'll immediately see the 2 white plastic stanchions on the left that indicate the walking path and veer off and away from the cart path you were just on. Park your cart and start walking from that point. It'll take you all the way to Ezell and Sawgrass, and further, if you'd like. You'll be walking along the Chitty Chatty Preserve. It's great!!!! And I can't believe I get to live here....Hope that helps......enjoy.....

Drive to the St. Catherine postal station. Across the street you will see a walking trail. Take that trail until it comes to a walking path along a lake (or water retention area) near the woods.

If you go left, it goes to Bradford. If you go right, it goes to Citrus Grove.
