San Felasco State Park
San Felasco State Park is just a few miles from our home in Gainesville Florida. We've spent a lot time hiking in San Felasco, it's our home hike, a special place for us.
Driving Directions
To the Hiking Trailhead: Take I-75 to C.R. 222 (Milepost Exit 390 - Old Exit 77) and drive west 2.9 miles to C.R. 241. Turn right onto C.R. 241 and drive 2.0 miles to C.R. 232.

Wait, There's More!
If you're interested in hiking opportunities, there are two other parks in our neighborhood you should be aware of.
The Devil's Millhopper is a large sinkhole. A short trail goes around the top. Impressive! It's on Millhopper Road near the intersection with 53rd Ave. The Devil's Millhopper is on Millhopper Road about 4 miles west of The Hiking Trailhead described above. There's also a city park that is part of the San Felasco park system. It's just around the corner from the Devil's Millhopper on 53rd Ave. Look for Cox Cable and TV 20, this park is next door. The park has swing sets, bathroom, and hiking trails. Great place to take the kids.
