  Forbes Trail was closed to traffic just after Deer Prairie Creek Horseback Riding parking lot.

  In my opinion this spot is 10x better than Deer Prairie Creek Preserve South because it is much more natural and there is ton of great trail and spots along the beautiful Myakka River for you to see. When hiking in Florida, you want to see the water. This place is huge! I spent four hours inside and only scratched the surface. You would need to come back for multiple visits to see it all. Make sure to get a paper map (which the box isn’t easy to see when you come in,
  although I have provided a photo of where it is) and bring plenty of water. The trails are pretty well identified and there are markers, though a few had forks in the road that aren’t very well detailed on the map and I therefore needed to use a compass a couple of times to be sure where I was going. A handful of crossings had standing water and/or mud, but I didn’t have any problems getting by in mid-March. Parking for cars is on the grass as you turn in while horse trailers can park on the gravel. Be sure to visit the canoe landing by trail marker #102 as it is the star of the show! While inside, animals I saw included a feral hog, an armadillo, and black snakes. I would recommend bringing a survival knife along for peace of mind. Cell service was surprisingly good throughout most of my hike as there was a nearby cell tower I could see at one point.

  Beautiful area and scenery, with a lot of different trails to explore. Encountered a few armadillo's, and some orange trees. The trails we're decently large, with a decent amount of label markers throughout. There are no restrooms or out houses here. Dogs are allowed as long as they're leashed the entire time. Horses are also welcome. Upon arrival we were fortunate enough to see some cows grazing, as well as a few donkeys. Over all, this place is very peaceful and somewhere we'll return to.

  My partners and I have guided trail rides at Deer Prairie Creek Preserve since the property opened to the public. It is beautiful and well-managed by Sarasota County's department of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources and the Southwest Florida Water Management Districts.
  
  Bring your own horses or ride with us. It's a wonderful way to experience a beautiful nature preserve because you will be able to see farther, over the palmetto plants.

  Deer prairie Creek Preserve is a wonderful place to go kayaking! We used the south entrance and went north along the creek (above the spillway). There are alligators, of course, but that's part of the fun! We also saw Snowy Egrets, Blue Heron, turtles, and lots of fish, especially Gar. The scenery is breathtaking ... this is a kayak trip worth taking!
