Exploring History at Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park

Описание: Hiking in Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park located in Pasco County, Florida. Long before it was a park and preserve it was the site of an old ranch and homestead. Some of the trails here lead you around where the McNeil homestead used to be along with abandoned cemetery. Today these areas of the park are preserved and are a nice reminder of the past as you explore around. It makes you curious about the history and wonder what else may be in these woods. It’s a big place to explore with many trails and camping as well. Enjoy the adventures and thank you for watching!
