This trailhead, managed by St. Johns County Parks and Recreation, includes a restroom, parking, and a picnic area. A kiosk with a trail map is located just west of the trailhead. This trailhead is 9 miles from the Vermont Boulevard Trailhead and 7 miles from the end of the trail in Putnam County.

The preserve is part of the Palatka to St. Augustine State Trail, a 12-foot-wide, 19-mile-long paved trail that runs through beautiful agricultural landscapes and scenic routes. You can begin your adventure from several access points. Starting in St. Johns County and traveling into Putnam County tends to be the popular route due to the ample parking at the eastern trailheads and the opportunity to visit the designated Florida Trail Town of Palatka mid-trip.
