Need to Know

The amenities here include a staffed Nature Center, restrooms, and water fountain (both can be found in the parking area). Chickee Huts and benches along the boardwalk trail are available as well.

Description

A wheelchair and stroller friendly boardwalk extends through the marsh and cypress swamp. Stop by the Nature Center to speak with a naturalist or sign up for a guided program.

Flora & Fauna

Snail kites are a common sight and bald eagles nest here in winter. Look for alligators, pig frogs, apple snails, great blue herons, and anhingas.
