James E Grey Preserve
6938 Plathe Rd, New Port Richey, FL (727) 841-4560
James E. Grey Preserve is an amazing treasure in New Port Richey. Quiet, peaceful, and so old Florida, it is an 80-acre riverfront preserve offering many birds & other wildlife, 2 miles of trails & a playground. This City of New Port Richey park is quiet and very pretty. I saw plenty of pretty birds, gopher tortoises and turtles in the river.
Most of the trails are shady so it is nice even on a sunny and warm day. The park has a beautiful boardwalk trail along the Pithlachascotee River, shelters for picnics, areas to fish, bird watching, places where you can set your kayak or canoe in the river.
It’s a pleasant place to spend an afternoon and it’s only blocks away from a sea of subdivisions.

Carol – I liked your description of this as Old Florida – cypress trees and Spanish moss … fabulous. And hard to believe that it is only blocks from neighborhoods! Glad to see that it has been preserved! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Some really nice reflection shots!
I could happily hang out here for a few hours – looks calm and peaceful AND with gorgeous fresh air at James E. Grey Preserve.
Happy Monday Carol.

Those shady trails look so inviting. Just to stand there, take in the sights and sounds and wait for the animals and birds to pass by. Superb.
