Welcome to The Friends Trail! This trail system is part of Brooker Creek Preserve, the largest remaining natural area in Pinellas County. You may have noticed a trailhead for the horse trail here too. The exercise horse trail is for horses only…hikers are not permitted. The Friends Trail starts with a wide path heading west before you cross a bridge to get to the start the 1.75 mile loop trail. You can take a short detour to visit the observation tower before you cross the bridge. You will hear more about that at next stop.
