enchanted forest sanctuary

Great walk through various forest areas . Probably full of wildlife that Florida residence take for granted but for a Brit full of new sights and sounds, huge butterflies , dragonflies , lizards even without seeing larger animals such as deer , Bobcats and troublesome wild hogs. Free but leave donation as well worth it

Like: lovely nature trails, good guides and information, lots of different flora and fauna - some quite expected, just off a busy highway but once you're in it's calm and peaceful.Keep in mind: this is Florida and when it's hot and muggy you may need the bug spray!

The Enchanted Forest is a very beautiful nature walk and 5 K jogging path, beautifully maintained and easy to move along for hikers of all abilities.

We visited in late December. The park is pretty, but not only did we so no wildlife, we were overwhelmed with mosquitoes within minutes of setting out on the trail. If you do go, make sure to apply bug spray first.

Over 4 miles of hiking trails in pristine forest of primarily oak & palm. Trails are well kept and well marked. Very little elevation difference so it is an easy hike. Very scenic and relaxing though it is just off busy highway 1. Funded by donations only, no admission charge. If you're looking for peaceful place to enjoy nature and get some exercise you will love this place.

I had driven past this place for years. Glad that I finally went in. Beautiful sunny day. Very friendly and helpful park worker. Enjoyed the trails. Enjoyed seeing the tortoise and the butterflies. Could also be good when the weather is not so great. They had a large visitor center.

Great county park. Nature center, handicap accessible path, many different terrains of Florida. Go for a hike and see the wild orchids, Gopher tortoises, and original canal. Beautiful and relaxing-a gem of Titusville!

There are miles of beautiful trails to walk at this park all of them clearly marked. Lots of wildlife, if you are quite and keep your eyes open, you should see plenty of deer (if you go in the morning or near sunset) gopher tortoises, and Lots of bird species. Bring lots of water and dont forget to visit the nature building , lots of interesting displays and some hands on stuff for kids.

Great place for the family! Take a walk or enjoy your picnic in the shade. The trails are very nicely marked and they are easy to walk. Check out the gift shop for locally handmade items and books.

My eleven year old son and I went on a hike here today and enjoyed the natural beauty of the area. The large oak trees and steep banks were interesting to see. The trails are well marked and easily connect to one another. We were greeted by a very pleasant lady before we started our hike. She had us log in and offered a trail map, bug spray and pointed us in the right direction. We would have hiked longer but the quick change typical of Florida weather caught us by surprise. At the sound of thunder and feeling the cool air of a storm approaching we quickly made our way back to the parking lot. While on the trails we encountered MANY large spiders, often hanging at a level even with our heads. I would caution others to be careful of these spiders unless you want to end up wearing one on your forehead. Also, wear appropriate clothing and bug repellent because there are swarms of Mosquitos which kept us moving. Whenever we would try to stand still it became unbearable. I look forward to going back to explore the rest of the trails, but will probably wait until mosquito season isn't so strong.

This place is gorgeous for a long stroll or trail running. Lots of covered trails, great parking area, quiet, and wildlife!

To think this place could have been another self storage complex! This sanctuary is pristine and a great place to learn about Florida pre-development. The canal running through it keeps parts of the hiking area cool and serene. Other areas are pine forest. The oak hammocks provide homes for animals and exotic plants such as orchids. The visitors center is nicely down and the staff is great. There is a nice screened in area for events they host. Do not miss if you are headed to the Space Center.
