If you're looking for a new trail to explore near your Gainesville apartment, look no further than the Butler North Footpath. Catch a break from the busy hustle & bustle of the Butler Town Center area and escape to this trail to take in some beautiful Gainesville nature.
Located behind Butler Plaza North, Gainesville renters who live in Archer Road apartments can drive over to this trail within minutes (or even walk from some apartment communities)! Get some fresh air on a peaceful walk or jog by yourself, or let your furry friend get some energy out on this brand-new path. There are 4 beautiful ponds located along the trail with plenty of nature and wildlife to enjoy. Take in the beautiful maple, oak, and elm trees or say hey to the adorable different kinds of birds and ducks who hang out around the ponds during your walk.
Ready to get your dog out of your apartment and go explore this brand-new footpath? Here's a couple of quick tips:
- Make sure to leash your pet on this trail, and every trail around town! Keep others and their pets, as well as your own pet, safe by leashing your furry friend.
- Avoid wearing new shoes on your walk or jog – time to break out your oldest pair of sneakers. This trail isn't paved. You'll find sand, dirt, and pebbles on the pathway along your walk.
- You'll find waste stations along the pathway, but it's always a good idea to bring some bags for your pet's waste just in case they run out!
