Cellon Creek Loop
This 4.5 mile loop, geared to intermediate riders, also starting at the bike trail head parking lot, winds east along the south side of Cellon Creek to a powerline, turns north across the creek and then dives back into the hammock and west along the north side of the creek. There are some small elevation changes that add to the experience. The trail comes out of the hammock along the northern boundary of the park and back along the fence line to the bathrooms and picnic pavilion.

Tung Nut Loop
This trail is for more advanced and fit riders. It is a 8 mile loop that takes off from the eastern end of the Cellon Creek Loop winding up and down the hills, in and out of open fields and patches of hammock, past the Tung Nut Depot skirting along the rim of Sanchez Prairie, up and over the hill and down towards Itchy Bottom Lake and back to close the loop where you started it. (A very short spur takes you to the lake.)
Hammock Hub
A short connector from Tung Nut Loop,, close to the north/south powerlines puts you on this approximately 1.5 mile loop that is a mix of up/down Karst topography and fast sweeping trail through the pines. This presents challenges for some and fun for others.

Sweetgum Hill Loop
This is a 1.4 mile loop found from a connector off Hammock Hub. There is some elevation change but is mostly sweeping curves.
Canebrake “8″
This loop is found on a connector off Sweetgum Hill Loop. Schematically a figure eight that is 0.8 miles long, the trail is on either side of a seasonal seephead stream crossing it at the waist of the 8. There is fast loss of elevation with a steep rooty climb that might remind you of terrain found in more mountainous states.
Ravine Trail
Named for the ravine it is routed along, it leaves the eastern side of Canebrake “8″ and intersects with the Sweetgum Hill-Odd Buck connector. There are several quick steep downs and ups for thrills.
Odd Buck Loop
Riding this 1.7 mile loop you might forget you are in Florida! This trail got its name from the 9-point and 7-point deer skulls found when planning this trail. The skulls were stolen from the signposts less than a week after they were mounted to honor these beautiful animals.
Soggy Bottom Loop
Take the connector off the eastern most point of Odd Buck. This flat trail meanders under the hammock that shades this flood plain that borders Turkey Creek and can be underwater for part of the year.
