One of the most popular hikes on the Florida Trail is also one of the most interesting. Hidden Pond is an oasis in the middle of the Juniper Prairie Wilderness, a designated wilderness area in the Ocala National Forest, and it lies nearly halfway between the two access points to the wilderness area – at Juniper Springs and at Pat’s Island. Pat’s Island, in turn, has its own fascinating history to explore along the Yearling Trail, which this route also follows in part on the return trip.
