Old Fort King Loop
I wanted to do a day hike but didn't feel like driving forever to do so, so I revisited an area that i'm familier with. I also didn't want the same hike so I added an elemant to change it up a bit. Koda and I started at the Old Fort King Trail head and followed it out of Hillsborough River State Park. At this point we are still on the trail following it along Dead River Rd. Right as you enter the Boundry for Dead River the trail breaks south towards Sargent Park. Thats a fun walk too but its a soogy walk and I wasn't going for that today. So we follow Dead River rd till it ends at the river. This road is only open to car traffic on the weekends so we had a few cars wiz past us. There is a nice bridge by the river that we always take a moment at. After the short break we continue on the trail north east that follows the river. I dont know what to call this trail but it is wide and hiked often and today its our way back to Hillsborough River State Park. Soon enough the gate to Hillsborough River State Park property and the trail is wide again.This is a nice hike and the Dear River rd section added in made the loop possible and deffinatly cut down on the repeditiveness.
Good times, Have fun!
