October 12, 2006
CONTACT: Tom Champeau (863) 648-3200
Sen. Paula Dockery (District 15) has invited the
public to hike with her on Saddle Creek Trail on Sat., Oct., 14.
Dockery will lead a 9-11 a.m. guided tour on the scenic trail
that winds through forests and lakes within the Tenoroc Fish
Management Area.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) biologists will join the hike and provide
information about the area’s mining history and natural
resources. The hiking trail was built cooperatively by the FWC,
the Department of Environmental Protection Division of Greenways
and Trails, local Boy Scouts, volunteers with the Florida Trail
Association and students at Sleepy Hill Middle School.
To get to the Saddle Creek Trail, go 2 miles
east on U.S. 92 from Combee Road and turn north (left) on Saddle
Creek Park Road. Follow Saddle Creek Park Road until the road
makes a hard left and becomes Morgan Combee Road. The trailhead
parking area will be just ahead and to the right in the
northeast corner of Saddle Creek Park, behind the maintenance
area and the old swimming beach.
For more information about recreational
opportunities at the Tenoroc Fish Management Area, call
(863)-499-2422 or visit MyFWC.com for other information about
the wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities provided
through the FWC.
