Guide to Jacksonville’s Hiking Trails

Castaway Island Preserve

Castaway is a great place to take the kids for an easy hike and a picnic lunch. Along the hike kids will enjoy seeing the painted animal footprints, the Intracoastal Waterway overlook, as well as the educational signage that refers to the animals living in the preserve area. This trail is 1.7 miles long and is not a traditional hiking trail as it is composed of all sidewalk paths and boardwalk. Therefore, it is easily accessed by both strollers and wheelchairs.
