La Chua Trail: A Gator’s Reflection
Abstract
La Chua Trail is about three miles round-trip and provides an excellent opportunity to follow in the footsteps of historic naturalists John Muir and William Bartram. The trailhead begins on a paved path and then meanders through clusters of oak and palm trees, eventually intersecting the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail, another popular Paynes Prairie hike.
