Goethe - Cow Creek Road

Goethe State Forest is located in central Florida and spans almost 54,000 acres. Exploring Goethe State Forest can be done in many ways, such as hiking, bicycling, horseback, and street-legal vehicles. Goethe State Forest is great for anyone looking to hunt, fish, camp, and watch wildlife. Cow Creek Road is the longest trail in Goethe State Forest. The trail passes through various levels of vegetation density and winds through central Goethe State Forest. Cow Creek Road hosts Big Cypress Boardwalk which is a hiking trail to Goethe Giant; a Bald Cypress tree over 100' tall and over 900 years old! As the name implies the hiking trail is mainly on a boardwalk. While Cow Creek Road may not be interesting from an offroading perspective, Big Cypress Boardwalk is worthwhile.
