Bear Creek Nature Trail - Hiking area in Winter Springs - 1535 Winter Springs Blvd, USA

This is an easy to access trail. Beautiful sightseeing, you need good shoes to walk since terrain is uneven. Parking is tight, next to the road.

It's a small nature walking trail that's great for the little kids. But beware for some local folks have seen a five foot long alligator along the walking pathway. So don't let them littles off your sight. The long or long tree trunk that supposed to be laid across the river for people to walk on to the other side is not quite in position for walking across anymore. Bummer.

Super short nature trail. Great for a short walk outdoors near the water. There's a log that you can cross over. Our dog loved swimming in the creek! There is a big gator that hangs out here sometimes, so watch out for him if you're near the water.

Even though you are not far from civilization, being here makes you feel like you're miles away. Lots of shade from all the trees. A peaceful walk along the winding River. Lots of wildlife to be seen. Great for all ages.

easy enough trail and quiet atmosphere. didn't see much wildlife but apparently the trail had some fire damage from a while ago back and it was wild to see the forest regenerating itself already. Trail itself can be walked easily but does not offer many shady spots.

The views along the water were very nice and you don't have to hike very far (if at all) to get to the water. That being said, the trail was extremely short. I was able to walk the entire thing and double back on myself to make sure I explored all the side trails I could see in 30 minutes. I mapped the trail using a GPS app (see photos). There are side trails that loop back to the main trail back out. Two entrances/exits along Winter Springs Blvd. That being said, would go back again if I want to just relax along the water... and perhaps shimmy across one of the trees to the other side.

Very short trail. Very short. Not marked and it's along a small stream. A few parking spaces. Would not recommend if you wanted to go out for a hike of any length or time. It is pretty shaded.

Great place for smaller kids. Not a tough trail by any sense. Trail follows a stream. Leads to homes at the end. It's a short out and back. Didn't explore too much, but saw a tree crossing that led farther into the woods. With the 100s of trails near here, it'll be a while before we come back. Like I said. It's a great trail for smaller kids.
