Itinerary description
In the southern portion of Seminole Ranch, the white spur trail leads to the Lake Cone conservation area. Prepare for some light wading on this hike as the north east portion may be under 12 inches or so of water unless it is a very dry season.

Hi Andy. Do you think that parts of the trail is gona be under the water at that season ? I want to do it today with my 8 years old son. Thanks
There are more photos on my blog (http://www.seizingthedream.com/2016/03/hiking-seminole-ranchlake-cone-area.html) along with a more details description. In part of that description, I said "After crossing the second creek, there is about another three quarters of a mile worth of tuft-hopping to go there is a water hazard to deal with. It has been awhile since we’ve had any rain, but the water here was still about 12 to 20 inches deep. It’s a good spot to use the overshoes if you have them. This water hazard goes on for about the next third of a mile."
With the afternoon showers we've had lately, this might be a good part of the trail to avoid if you want to stay dry. Have fun!
Thanks a lot. We may change the trail a little bit with your advice.
