Reviews
Such an excellent place to hike and view wildlife. Many well maintained trails. An amazing alligator lookout and educational building. Clean bathrooms on site. Leashed dogs are welcome. An amazing butterfly garden to see and a native nursery. This place is the real Florida. Just bring bug spray and water and a camera for the amazing trails !
Nice walk thru the woods.
Great place to visit.
Spent a few hours in this beautiful and peaceful place yesterday. Stunning views and just relaxing. Saw some snapping turtles as well!
This is such a great place, great staff. Butterfly garden. Hiking trails. Waterfront. It's got it all.
Great spot with some good trails. They've already done a fantastic job cleaning up after Ian. Paths are clear. Some trails can be muddy after a recent rain, but other trails are always dry. Dogs on leashes are allowed.
Great place to go for nature !
Wonderful nature center, good walking trails.
