Tosohatchee State Reserve,on Hwy 50, 22 miles east of Orlando near the town of Christmas, offers three- , four- and 6½-mile hiking trails that can be combined for a 13½- mile march.The 28,000-acre site cuddles the St. Johns River, near the end of the longest trail. It’s a mosaic of swamp, marsh, pine flatwoods and hammocks. You’re likely to encounter eagles, hawks, otters, white-tail deer, wild turkeys and wild pigs.Keep your distance from the latter – especially the males, who often lack a sense of humor and can run a lot faster than most of you.
In fact, give a wide berth to anything wild, including turkeys; they also have attitude problems.This, too, is part of the Florida Trail which, when finished, will reach 1,300 miles cross Florida. Just in case you’re a tad curious – even if you’re not – the park’s name, already hard to pronounce, is shortened from “Tootoosahatchee,” which in a native American dialect means “chicken creek.” As far as the locals can tell, the chickens are long gone.
