Located off State Road 19, Salt Springs Observation Trail is just south of the intersection of County Road 314. Showcasing a variety of habitats on a slope down from the Big Scrub to the sinuous Salt Springs Run, the Salt Springs Observation Trail is a 1.9-mile loop trail offering excellent birding from an observation deck along the famed waterway. When Salt Springs Run is high, the trail tends to flood ankle-deep or more along a stretch in the pine woods close to the boardwalk and the boardwalk is slippery when wet. This trailhead parking area also provides access for the blue-blazed Salt Springs connector of the Florida Trail, found on the opposite side of US 19 about a quarter mile north of the trailhead.
