The park is overrun by mountain bike enthusiasts. There are trails everywhere. The Old Agrico Trail was my favorite. It moves away from the mountain bikers and across a variety of environments. It is half open and half shaded. Passion flowers grow all along the trail.

I hiked the Old Agrico Trail. There were some hills, which made the hike exciting, and some flowing streams which were nice to see in Florida.

Excellent trails for hiking, very beautiful scenery. Alafia also has some of the most elite of MTB trails in Florida that are sponsored by the "SWAMP MTB Club". The camp grounds are OK, no shade, but the rangers are awesome.
