Egan's Creek Greenway Trail

"Egan's Creek Greenway is an immersion in North Florida flora and fauna. Alligators, Great Blue Heron, wild passion flowers and morning glories. It's beautiful, serene.... Quiet."

"Lots of open space to move around and wildlife to see. Great for hiking and biking."

"Mad at myself for not travelling the entire Greenway before now. Relaxing, wide open vistas, wildlife everywhere you look if you're quiet. We have our own peaceful and in places, gorgeous Everglade in our backyard, and the mountain bike trail off the Jasmine entrance threads through an immense old growth hardwood hammock. That trail is a good challenge as well, prepare for lots of root dodging! I sat for fifteen minutes in one spot just watching different schools of small frie circle and jump as they were spooked in one pond, in another the larger fish herded the smaller school fish along the shore before dashing in for a bite. Bring your polarized glasses and be amazed. The trails are well marked, and access to the areas is multiple, so check the map. There is parking near most of the entrances I've visited, but there are no facilities, just trails and park benches, so plan accordingly."

"My favorite local place in Fernandina Beach to ride/walk in nature and see a wide variety of native plants and animals in a freshwater and tidal system. Recommend bug spray and sunscreen (plus a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses) during the summer months. If you're looking for a closer view of the birds and other wildlife, bring a small binocular or monocular."

"This nature trail did not disappoint. I had no sooner taken the picture warning of alligators when I turned around and saw an alligator in the water behind me! Saw lots of other birds and animals as well!"
