On any given day you may come across a group of school children being led through the park as they are introduced to the enormous variety of birds that call the park home. The quiet retreat offers a mile-long boardwalk that winds its way through the densely populated woods, as well as a half-mile dirt trail. Take your time and observe the marsh and the trees surrounding you and you are sure to spot any number of Florida wildlife. Herons, wood storks, egrets abound in the park.

This park is truly a photographers paradise. So many picturesque views from many areas of he boardwalk. Turtles regularly make their appearance in the lake around the Observation Tower. Keep your eyes peeled for the ever present alligators. They like to sun themselves on the bank along the canal. You can also spot them occasionally hiding in the marsh reeds along the waters edge.

Take time out of your busy day and stroll through a little section of old Florida. Maybe your lunch break would be a great time to make the trip. It will not disappoint you. You will leave with a feeling of peace and contentment.
