OFFICIAL INFO:

1) What It's Like

We stopped but didn't hike - lots of horse folks camping here. Looks like a few miles of horse trails through oak and pine forest. Not sure how close it gets to the prairie and pond areas.

Experience

There's this side - the CR337 side and then another page discusses the SW 250th St side. We stopped here first looking for where the birds and the water was. It was full of horse trailers and seemed like thick forest so we kept moving on to the other side.

The main Goethe SF is a good bit away from here towards the coast - I assume the same person donated both properties or they just wanted to call them the same thing for administrative purposes.
