Tips from locals
The Hawthorne Trail passes through this spot and you can walk/run all the way out to the Prairie.
Nice trails and picnic spots. Word of caution - pay attention to the hours of operation, they will close the gate with your car still inside.
The reason Univ. of FL settled here was this great water source. Beautiful scenery, picnic area, historic waterworks building, and posted no swimming but if you are brave enough, as the locals say: "a quick dip!"
