On Sunday afternoon, we ran over to this preserve. It's nestled between a neighborhood and the Palatlakaha River.
The terrain varies from wetland to sandy. It's fairly quiet, but does run along Lake Louisa Road for part of the trail. There are two sinkholes (one is across Lake Louisa Road and is not accessible from the trail), which were filled with water when we went.
In true Florida fashion, the weather turned from sunny to a thunderstorm within minutes. We saw these clouds and made it out before the storm was fully unleashed. We saw most of the trail and it was a good short visit.
Although not a remote park, it was a worth the visit. It's a nice break among the new growth in the area.

"Located in the rapidly-growing south end of Lake County, this 64-acre preserve now protects a beautiful undisturbed section of waterfront on Lake Louisa, as well as frontage along the Palatlakaha River as it flows north from the lake. A parking area/trailhead and trails allow for passive recreation and exploration of the remnant sandhill plant community and wetlands. "
