Trails by taking SR 17 south from Babson Park.
Take a left on Murray Road and go 2.2 miles to a
left turn on Pfundstein Road. Follow signs to
the two trailheads. Reach the Jenkins Trail by

The parking area is at the end of the road. The
easy access is from
Lake Kissimmee
from Tiger Cove.
Several hiking
trails of varying lengths provide access to the
oak scrub, pine flatwoods, sandhill, hardwood
swamp and longleaf pine/wiregrass habitat
associated with the Lake Wales
sand ridge and the Tiger Creek watershed. The
Jenkins Trail follows Tiger Creek. The George
Cooley Trail is a loop trail that goes through
scrub, hardwood swamp, pine flatwoods and
cutthroat seeps. The cutthroat seep--dominated
by cutthroat grass--is a moist habitat that
periodically dries out. The Pfundstein Road
trails provide access to Patrick Creek
and a longer loop trail into an area called the
central highlands.
