Pine Island Conservation Area / Sams House
This is a trail walk/run starting at the Pine Island Conservation Area (it could have started at Sams House to the south as well). Some of the routes through the woods are very rough, since I could not find the trail on the map. The trails are pretty easy to follow, though. The ones heading to Sams house are the red trail and the white loop trail. There is a lot of wildlife, including alligators, and there was a rabies alert when I went. I also think I saw some manatees in the larger bodies of water. Some of these trails flood easily since this is a marshy area. Note that the area to the north of the Pine Island gate have changed significantly due to construction, and these changes do not appear on the satellite image (yet).
