Hello, I'm having difficulty finding directions to the Alligator Loop. New to the area. Can you please provide directions? Thank you so much.
| ThankIt's a 4 because there is not much else around this area. There are some decent twists and small elevation changes on this trail. It seems to be well maintained. It is much better than just a wide flat trail. Scenery is good. Singletrack for part of the trail.
| ThankIt has some minor features that may pose a slight challenges to a beginner which makes it abit more interesting than any other trails that I have seen in close proximity to this.
Great for my newbie kids 9 and 12. We loves it. Faster paced then I thought keeping up with them. Lots of roots
| ThankGreat for beginners. Not too many hikers in the late afternoon. My 9 and 13 year old loved it for newbies.
| ThankLots of roots, some ups and downs and fun curving trails. Great for my 9 year old on his BMX and 12 year old on a MtB. My first time ever on it besides hiking. Trails are well marked and lots of natural rights with markers
| ThankNice easy trail through the pines. Nice scenic spots. Take Savanna Lake Trail for some fun small hills and overlook of the lake.
| ThankNice easy ride through the pines and swampy woods. Savanna Lake Trail is a fun little trail with some hills. Giving this 3 out of 5 because it is one of the few off road trials in the Mandeville area. Try parking at Pelican park and bike over to the trail system. Restrooms and water are available at Pelican Park.
| ThankNice easy ride through the pines and swampy woods. One of the few off road trails in the Mandeville area. Great for beginners and children.
