      Forest Park is almost entirely City of Jacksonville-owned and features about 30 miles of trails, most of which is mixed-use and some of which is hike or bike-only. The terrain is generally steep and features mostly old school trails. However, several trails are shuttle-able including primarily new school trails Hobo/Granite along Cantrell Creek, but also Twister/Slip N Slide up Norling Creek. Otherwise the trails are twisty in the shaded woods offering lots of opportunities for improved fitness and epic views. Folks looking for less climbing or entertaining younger riders should check out Rail Trail or Canyon Vista trail. Be sure not to miss the aptly-named Halls of Manzanita
