This is a perfect time of the year to hike Crystal River 7 mile loop mostly untouched, allowing visitors a glimpse of what this area of Florida looked like centuries ago.. Considered a easy hike it is a mix of sun and shade on on wide trail that goes through a tidal creek. **For those who don’t want to do the full 7 miles**, just do the tidal creek part. It is a straight in-out and you can turn back when you are ready without worrying about getting lost. **Directions:** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/oSSV97xVzFG5atLH8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oSSV97xVzFG5atLH8)
