Sunday, January 24, 2016, Little Manatee River State Park, North Area

Hiked about 7.5 miles this morning over 5 1/2 hours.  Started at the trail head off of US 301 just north of the river.  Took the north leg to the intersection of the short loop cross over.  There is a two track there that heads north.  Took it and crossed Cypress Creek and continued to the park boundary.  Came back across to the south side of Cypress Creek and took various two tracks and a dead end trail. 

The temperature was 37 and sunny when I started about 8am.  Not much wind which was a blessing. 

Didn't see any animals and only a couple of small birds.  Didn't even see a butterfly or moth.

The two tracks are mostly hard packed sand with very little traffic.
 There are a few small sandy streams heading west to Cypress Creek.


Tried to follow a trail.  It finally just filled in with brush and I couldn't tell where it went anymore.  Had to double back.


 Below is a photo of a small water fall on this creek the fall is about 3' high.  It is hard to see due to the palmetto leaves.
