Turkey Creek Sanctuary

I did this once and I was chased by a raccoon because it wanted my food. My suggestion is to make sure it's a sealed lunch until you plan to eat it, at least, then you might be able to keep your lunch... yours 😄

Motorized carts do well at Turkey Creek.

If you drive east past the main entrance and turn right at the next paved street- there's a little sign and the pull off doesn't look like a parking space.. Lol

1 long looping trail...maybe a mile. Plenty of shade and places to sit.

You can visit the office near the entrance, and they will provide you with a paper form to enter your customizations, and will have pricing!

I only walked the trails, I didnt kayak, but I would image it would be a nice place to fish. The only way would be on the kayak, because the erroding cliff around the creek are dangerous. There might be some big ones in there.

No

Around $40 a board

It is flat but it is natural ground with some roots, etc. Except for the boardwalk. Its doable but may be difficult to move in and not comfortable.

Manatees arent always easy to spot as they dont quite break the surface like dolphins and other water mammals. You'll often miss spotting them, but know you missed them by hearing them take their big deep breath! It takes patience to spot manatees but worth the wait.

I was just there and the trails are open but the boardwalk is not

No camping, its trails and u can kayak. There is a visitor center but that (not the trails, they r open) has been closed since covid started unfortunately.

It's open again

Stay vigilant, but I have not heard of violence there. Always stay alert and take friends as good measure wherever you go.

Yes. The park has a board walk and people can use a weel chair. Very nice place give a try.😁

Yes it does

Yes, at the mouth of the creek, on US1 on the North West side of the bridge. Maybe a 1/2 mile north of US1 and Port Malabar.

Closest place is Paddling Paradise

I don't think they rent, you bring your own.

Alligators, turtles do. Manatees swim and will eat from the mangroves and other plants along the bank. Great place to walk.

Yes, VERY wooded. But the creek is full of wildlife, and even a lot of tortoises in the park itself. Very nice walking paths, both man-made and semi-natural.

No, dogs are not allowed here.

I read it was 4 miles, but not sure if that was total or up to dam

About 75 yards

Yes

They have bike trails, walking boardwalk trails and dirt path walking trails.

1st place I'd check with is the Park Ranger station next to the Palm Bay Library.

Yes there is a covered picnic area down by the creek. It has a garbage and recycling can as well. No restroom nearby though. There was only one table area probably about 10 people max could fit. I don't know about the rules for propane in the park but the table is flat and sturdy.

No. Says so on every sign there. I don't think some people can read.

It is all free to everyone

It says dusk to dawn BUT nobody there to enforce it

It's really not long enough. Only other alternative I can think of would be Weikiva.

No dogs the renovating most of the board walk

Uh... If your friend owns a piece of land, you can stay on your friend's land in a camper
