4 Trails to Visit on a Day Off in Jacksonville
By: Joey Shyken Jacksonville is known for having the largest urban park system in the country. Beside the many parks Jacksonville is also the home of many preserves along the intercostal waterway and other areas. Most of these preserves have short hiking trails which is great for families with small children and many are stroller friendly. My Family enjoys visiting different preserves on a random Sunday and the great thing is that most of these preserves are within 30 minutes
