Lake Woodruff Wilderness, located in De Leon Springs, FL, is an excellent destination for dog owners seeking pet-friendly trails in Central Florida. Known for its scenic beauty, tranquil environment, and wildlife, this refuge offers beautiful hiking trails where both you and your canine companion can enjoy nature. The park is especially remarkable for those looking for dog-friendly hiking opportunities with plenty of shade and natural spots to cool off, perfect for hot Florida days.
What makes Lake Woodruff unique for dog owners is its relaxed, wildlife-rich atmosphere and family-friendly amenities. It’s a great place to stroll, birdwatch, and unwind with your pup while taking in the picturesque surroundings. Bring your dog, explore the well-maintained trails, and enjoy a quiet outing in one of De Leon Springs’ best pet-friendly outdoor spaces.
I absolutely love Lake Woodruff Wildlife refuge. I am able to go quite often. On Sunday’s I have walked with Roger and other birders. I have seen millions of tree swallows come in to roost for the night. I have seen the snow geese wintering. I have gathered my thoughts in the quiet solitude that is that place.
I do not want to see The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, make another disgusting mistake and open this Refuge up to more hunting and fishing. In a refuge the animals and people are kept safe, it’s the very meaning of the bloody word!
