Tiger Creek Preserve – Jenkins Trail
Written by Sandra Friend
Discover scenic Tiger Creek on this short trek across the famed scrub of the Lake Wales Ridge.
Starting at a small trailhead off a side road off Wakeford Rd, the Jenkins Trail leads you to a cool tannic stream slicing through the desert-like scrub of the Lake Wales Ridge: Tiger Creek, for which this preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy is named. This is the northernmost trail in the preserve.
