Really nice park with lots to offer. If you like butterflies they got you covered as soon as you are walking in by the butterfly crossing. If you like birds , they got you covered before you start the trail. Lastly if you like trails they got you covered with a lovely elevated trail . It also has a tower over looking the treetops at one of the trail ends .

We saw one small 3’ gator and a bunch of turtles congregating at the first section of the boardwalk. The rest of it has a lot of foliage and a bunch of cool spiders, don’t worry though as they aren’t blocking any paths. There is also a tall observation post here too!

I enjoyed a peaceful walk here this morning. When I arrived, I was greeted by a kind volunteer planting in the Butterfly Garden, which, she informed me hosts up to 17 species of Butterfly. She also recommended when I got to the boardwalk to jump up and down on the bridge a bit and the turtles and alligators will come swimming up to you. A few hops and sure enough the turtles appeared. No alligators though, too cold. The boardwalk is wide, clean and well maintained. It takes you over the lake and through Spanish moss-covered trees with every shade of green imaginable and ends at an observation tower to climb that offers lovely views of the entire park. It’s quite simply, beautiful.

This is a delightful park that has a little bit of something for everyone. The center itself is a fun and interactive place for kids and adults to experience a small,taste of florida nature up close and personal. Their exhibit room is stunning and informative. They also have daily animal feedings :-) my kids adore this place!
