Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Preserve















Located at 10500 Wilderness Blvd, New Port Richey, Starkey Wilderness Preserve is a wonderful and lush spot to spend the afternoon biking, hiking or jogging. Off road trails provide variety and paved walkways connect with the Suncoast Trail. This is also a great place to set up camp and stay for the weekend. Expect to see an abundance of wildlife. We saw turtles, wild roosters and cardinals. You can also expect to see a little bit of history. Starkey Wilderness Park is home to the 1882 McNeil homestead; however, today there is little remaining.
