Ladell Brothers Outdoor Environmental Center
Once inside this unlikely jewel, you’d hardly believe you’re on the North Florida Community College campus. Access the trailhead behind the science annex/technology center, where a 0.75-mile and two 0.5-mile mulched trails and boardwalks crisscross the hardwood and pine forest. Trail #1 runs past Wood Duck Pond, which has a large observation deck. Trail #2 leads through a black gum/red maple swamp and across a small gurgling stream which draws migratory songbirds. Open field habitats are also present at this site.
