Panther Point Trail Reopens

The Panther Point Trail that runs from the Marshall Hampton Reserve south along the east side of Lake Hancock has reopened for public use.

It had been closed because of damage and high water following Hurricane Irma. Lake Hancock reportedly reached an historic high level of more than 102 feet above sea level.

Meanwhile, Circle B Bar Reserve remains closed because of high water and storm damage. It is tentatively scheduled to reopen the week of Oct. 16, but some of the trails are expected to remain closed because of high water.

Still closed with no reopening dates announced are Gator Creek Preserve, the Lake Weohyakapka boat ramp, Lake Arbuckle campground and boat ramp and Peace River Hammock.
