Spruce Bluff Preserve is a cool spot and hidden treasure in St. Lucie with nice, great trails for a pleasant long walk of about an hour. The park is a little rustic with natural areas and beautiful views of lakes and ponds. There are narrow components of trails, some boardwalks, and bridges over lakes and marches, which feel a little old and nostalgic. The trail has historic sites from a graveyard to an Indian Burial Mound. Visitors can see Gopher Tortoise mounds and beautiful flora. There is very little mud when dry, but during the raining season there are some really muddy areas. The north side has coqui shells and is stroller capable, while the south side is more natural. There is a picnic table and brochures at the entrance.
Short out and back tight shaded trails with some history thrown in, good for a quick outing.

South trail not well marked. A bunch of loops that can get you confused. Lots of native plants. Not many birds today.

Cool spot in St Lucie. There are narrow components of trails and some muddy sections. We went there and biked the trails. I would consider the park a little rustic and probably better to hike than bike. The bridges are a little old feel a little nostalgic as you're walking to the park with views of a couple of ponds.
