Ponds are not conducive for dog walking this time of year

It is easy to miss this little gem of a preserve. I have passed it numerous times and finally decided to stop and take a look. The gravel parking lot is small, but that wasn't a problem with only one other car there. There are a few picnic tables and some benches and there is also a nice little clearing to launch a canoe or kayak. The Preserve is not very big, but it is a tranquil respite for anyone who enjoys relaxing outdoors and enjoying a little piece of undeveloped Florida.

Yes as an adult. 16 is the required age to obtain a license. I always get the reef,shore and freshwater licence,.. for $33.00 . It's definitely worth it. This particular pond is an old natural one. Pretty nice Bass in it. A healthy amount of bluegill and Bream as well.
