I work with developmentally disabled adults and I was able to easily schedule a visit for the photography lesson. The staff and volunteers were awesome! They were extremely friendly and inviting. They taught us many things and answered all of our questions. They showed us all around the site and showed us slides of the photographs they personally took and taught us tips to become better photographers. Definitely worth checking out a class or just going for a visit.

The Chinsegut property consists of 408 fully fenced acres of land with easy to navigate trails. Maps of the trails are available at all entrances near the informational kiosks. Hiking trails are open for the public to enjoy 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset. For those looking for a longer hike Big Pine Wildlife and Environmental Area is a short hike from Chinsegut with the "Prairie-to-Pines" trail connecting the properties. Between both areas hikers can enjoy more than 5 miles of trail winding through wet prairies, mixed hardwoods and open pineland habitats. In addition to trails the Chinsegut Wildlife and Environmental Area offers a variety of educational programs throughout the year. Program topics range from outdoor skills to native gardening. Programs are offered for all age groups from toddlers to adults and families. Program leaders and volunteers at Chinsegut are very knowledgeable. All education volunteers at Chinsegut have prior experience as public school educators, outdoor skills experts and 4-H educators with a combined knowledge of over 60 years. Organized groups may arrange for private programs. Chinsegut is a great, safe place to learn about natural Florida in a fun way.
