There is also a section west of Grassy waters, down aways. It's a Natural Area and has some great views. It's across a shopping area and has a brown gate.
We did visit the section north of Northlake Blvd. One of the trails was closed but we did the Eagle Trail. Very nice. I saw a group of deer.
Check out the area across from Grassy Waters. There are two trails there and are pretty cool to walk on.
Chris and I hit this place over the weekend. It was cool, but meleluca invasion everywhere. Fun trail, but I am getting fussy about my native plants. Grassy Waters Preserve though was gorgeous! I am looking forward to canoeing there.
I was just at Corbett this past weekend myself. I was surprised to see as much water on the trail as there was. I do live a little further north so I guess there could have been more recent rainfall here compared to where I live. Tons of beautiful w…
I followed up the Apoxee/Grassy Waters day hike with a backpacking trip to JW Corbett WMA.Here is a link to a report of the exact trip I did from this very site(thanks David for the excellent report and photography). http://www.myfloridahikes.com/pr…
There are some old trucks and cars still out there along some hiking trails. This area was a place to go mud riding on your ATV's before it became a park.
Sure, we can plan that. Give me a call when you're back in town after NYC.
I'll hike it with you. I'm out of pocket due to my daughter's graduation this weekend, and a trip to NYC the following weekend. After that, I'm open if you feel like waiting. If not, have a good hike!
Thanks, I passed this place looking for Corbett LOL. You guys up in WPB have so many places to hike! Anyone want to plan a dayhike at this place?
Yes,off Jog about a mile north of Okeechobee Blvd on the left.Both hiking and biking trails ...opens at dawn and closes at dusk.Very nice for dayhiking...if you don't mind getting your feet wet that is

Hey guys, where is this place? Is this off of Jog Road?
Thanks for the pictures(I really do plan to get more organized with my camera)and you are correct about the drought...to be fair even "hole-in-the-wall" in Corbett was dry at that time.Slogging through the water was a lot of fun and that is pretty m…
Apoxee is a great place to hike. Remember we were in a drought for two years. I think we are back on schedule with the rainy season now. This place is known to hold a lot of water. I'm glad you had a wonderful time exploring the park.
Great place. Been there many times.

Apoxee/Grassy Waters Preserves(WPB)
I did some day hiking in these two adjoining areas the other day.
First,let me say I remember around two years ago when the levee from Northlake to Jog was first opened to recreational use I was,I believe they said, the first of the general public to ride this route on my bike(they were practically begging me to ride it).Though it was a work in progress ,I was amazed by all the wildlife in Grassy Waters (though the levee is very exposed to the elements)and impressed by the potential of the trai… Continue
