GAINESVILLE-HAWTHORNE TRAIL: The Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail State Park stretches 16 miles from the City of Gainesville's Boulware Springs Park through the Payne's Prairie Preserve State Park and the Lochloosa Wildlife Management Area.  As such, it takes you through some of the finest natural areas in north central Florida.  It is wooded and quiet even though it travels close to busy highways and country raods.  The entire trail is a pleasure to ride, and there are even a few hills to climb and spped down.  The connection to La Chua trail offers the opportunity to see bison, wild horses, and sandhill cranes.  Click here to see a trail map.
