🌿 Jules & Yeti Explore: Durbins own Julington Creek Nature Preserve
If you ask us what our favorite leash-friendly nature escape is, we’ll answer in unison (and a few happy barks):
The Durbins at Julington Creek Nature Preserve
.
Jules (the adventurous English Springer Spaniel):
“I was born for the trail. The Durbin's offers wide, shady paths, soft earth under paw, and enough birds and squirrels to keep me curious for miles. I love the peacefulness here — it’s the perfect place to stretch my legs and get that tail wag going full speed.”
Yeti (the ever-watchful Pomsky):
“I’m a little guy, but I can hike with the best of them. The trees smell amazing, there are bridges to cross (so brave!), and the breeze makes my fur look fabulous. I like to pause often, take in the views, and remind my humans to hydrate.”
🐾 Dog-friendly tips from us:
-
The trails are mostly flat and shaded — great for hot days.
-
Bring water (for everyone!) and maybe a post-hike treat.
-
Keep your leash handy — we’ve seen deer, birds, and once… a very suspicious turtle.
Whether you’re a seasoned trail hound like Jules or a scenic stroller like Yeti, The Durbin's is one of the best natural gems in the Jacksonville area. Peaceful, lush, and just wild enough for a dog’s imagination to run free (safely, of course).
We give it: 🌲🐾🐾🌲🐾
