Florida Trail Lockwood to Barr with Boonie Falls
Just outside of Oviedo in Seminole County lies a 5.6 mile Florida National Scenic out and back trail. It features Boonie Falls, the southernmost waterfall on the Florida Trail.
Meander along the Econlockhatchee River and let nature fill your senses. Listen for a variety of birds and watch for wildlife in the shaded, wooded wonderland. Colorful wildflowers and mushrooms are little surprises waiting for you around every bend. During the rainy season, the trail can get muddy. However, the bridges and boardwalks will keep you dry on most days.
Sit for a spell on the bench and watch the water at Boonie Falls cascade over cypress knees. The natural falls are small at only 2-3 feet high but they sure are beautiful.
