Wkc Trail is a short, easy loop in Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park in Jacksonville, Florida, on city-managed land. The route is about 1.5 miles long and sits almost entirely flat, with a high point of 16 feet and a low of 7 feet. The trail is a loop, so it starts and ends at the same place, and it has no elevation gain to speak of. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 74°F and October highs around 82°F, while summer brings highs near 90°F and rain on about half the days in July and August. The trail is a simple outing that pairs easily with other parts of the park. Tillicum Campground is close by, and the park's other trails and facilities make it easy to extend a visit.
