- Take a virtual hike with me into Rice Creek Conservation Area located in Putnam County, Florida. A beautiful scenic wilderness in this part of the state that used to be a rice and indigo plantation during the 1700's. Today nature has reclaimed this place and exploring through here takes you back into old Florida and a pristine place to behold. Surrounded by dense hammocks, old trees and plenty of trails to roam. Along the way I check out a very old and large Cypress tree that still stands deep in these swamps. It is recorded as Florida's 7th largest Cypress tree, it stands tall in these swamps. Along the hike on the Florida Trail there are camping opportunities such as at the Rice Creek Hilton, a nice camping shelter along the Florida Trail here in this wilderness. One of the special highlights of this property is an historic levee built for an 18th century rice plantation that will take visitors along a walk into the heart of the swamp to view the seventh largest cypress tree in Florida. A portion of the Florida National Scenic Trail also traverses through the property. This portion of the trail includes Hoffman Crossing, an 1,886-foot narrow boardwalk the puts the hiker in the heart of the Rice Creek Swamp.

@@doomguy584 Rice Creek?
@@FLtrailblazer the tree is in eureka down in the Ocala forest but if your asking about my neck of the woods I consider everything from Ocala forest to etonia creek my stomping grounds
@@FLtrailblazer I imagine you are probably connected with the trail association you might be able to convince them to make a loop trail and a boardwalk to this particular tree
Such a beautiful place! Those Cypress trees are just so magnificent!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video FT. This is definitely getting added to the list.
Very cool place. Looks like it’s in Palatka. Love all the boardwalks. Great video!
Make sure to visit it with the family!
Jimmie Cricket. Thanks for all good videos though.
THank for the great camera work. 6' minutes in, that section when there's more water, usually have about a dozen 1-3 yr gators hanging out. If y'll see them there, remember mama is a lot bigger at may be right there too, ya just haven't seen her yet.
Nice video man, informative and beautifully filmed.🙌🏻🙌🏻🥾🥾
Thank you very much!
the trees in big tree park in sanford/wintersprings is over 2000 years old from what the plack reads.you have recorded bigger trees in your previous videos.
"Rice Creek Hilton"-- pretty droll, as far as hiking shelter names go. This facility is doubtless better than another famous (or rather, infamous) "Hilton": The "Hanoi Hilton" of the Vietnam Era, whose name wasn't exactly droll-- more like bitterly sardonic. 🤔🧐🇻🇳
