Great trail for running or walking. It's a very long rocky road and at the end you get a beautiful view of the ocean. Once we got to the end there was a lot of trash around sadly, im guessing some people where there a few days before but the view is still amazing. Make sure to bring lots of water, sunscreen, and a hat cause it was blazing hot when I went. This place also has a random little building full of graffiti which I really liked. It's also very secluded and hidden from the actual road. I had to park at a library near by but I did see some cars parked at the side.

Anazing little hidden trail that takes all the way out to the ocean. You can spot some manatees too if you're lucky.

Parking here is difficult and there is a lot of trash along the main canal. Some of the trails into the preserve are nice. Unfortunately a lot of the fishermen here leave lots of trash. Doesn't seem to be very much city or county upkeep. As a fellow fisherman it makes me ashamed when we abuse our natural spaces like this. Pack in, pack out. Attached pictures are of the least trashy place that I found to get my line wet.

A great spot for nature lovers. There is an old abandoned military bunker with lots of graffiti, a very cool spot. Would love to go back!

Questions & Answers

Where is the entrance? I went biking all around old cutler road and I didn't found a entrance, just a open fence in the middle of the way and Google maps send me over a private neighborhood.

The entrance to the preserve is via walking only. It is about 1/2 mile from the car entrance, just North of the bridge over Snapper Creek. A mountain bike can go there, but a bike with narrow, thin tires will have problems with the unpaved path.

What time do they close
