The maps are quite helpful when studied closer.

Farther away, there is the The Sharon Rose Wiechens Preserve; it is a 624-acre nature preserve in The Villages, Florida. It has a boardwalk and walking path - no bikes, no golf carts. The trailhead is just off Moyer Loop.
Thank you! This is helpful information.

Didn't you hear about the walker who was killed on an MMP in Chitty Chatty? MMPs are no place to walk.
It’s an MMP, not a CP. Accidents happen. I see a lot more healthy walkers and bikers. That is why we moved to the south side.

That sounds like a great walk. Would you happen to know how far that is?

It's about 2.5 miles doing the complete loop. I take my dog for a walk all the time.

The Richmond path by the dog park is 1.1 miles if you start and end there. The Lake Okahumpka path is 0.6 miles from the St. John's postal station. The Hawkins path is 1.3 miles if you do a complete loop but you will need to walk on a few residential streets for a small portion.

I wouldn't classify this as close to Richmond but if you're looking for something different check out Rusty Nelson's video. Leesburg Lake Denham. https://youtu.be/gQflI4BqRb4?si=kBT9ah8OtfTTf-9x

We really like that walk. It is especially nice because the path is a little elevated and it gives you a nice view of the marsh and the wildlife.

We park our car at the pool and walk down Hawkins Drive to catch the trail around the marsh. When we reach the houses, we turn around and go back the same way we came.
