Cypress Creek Nature Preserve

I don't who is in charge of this preserve but whoever's is getting paid to clean up around the preserve is not doing it often. Lots of cans, bottles ,and paper all over the outer rim of the preserve.

Beautiful epiphyete covered old tall oak trees..Very quite and beatiful trails..It is not well maintained at all.

The preserve does not have any parking but the flora and fauna are gorgeous. Only a couple minutes after entering, I noticed a large rattlesnake near a palmetto bush. Mosquitoes were not too bad but definitely noticed them when at a standstill. Would recommend for those looking for more serious trail walking compared to leisurely walking/recreation.

Interesting place for a lunchtime stroll. Entrance is easy to miss-just a small walkthrough by a metal polegate on the East side of Livingston across from Silver Forrest Lane. Very small parking area guarantees against crowds. Only one real trail with a few side branches. Oak scrub and some palmetto, intermixed with pine, sweet gum, and maple. Several open, sunny clearings. At the back is an area with small water puddles-probably underwater in the rainy season. I walked about 1/2 mile back and it seemed to go on quite a ways past that. Several types of ferns, mosses, and flowering plants. Saw one blooming air plant (a Tithonia). Nice place to bring a folding chair and a picnic lunch. Today (Feb 20) was 80 degrees, but mosquito presence was minimal. For a woodland park in the midst of crowded suburbia, it was quite nice
