Are there benches on the walkway where an older person could rest for a few minutes? How long is a walk from start to back at the entrance?

There are benches, gazibo's and cheeks around the board walk

Yes

A few benches, yes.

You have a 1/2 mile and a mile. Yes there are a lot of places to rest.

Benches throughout, even some covered turnouts along the way. Enjoy.

There are benches throughout the park. Don't know length of walk. I believe there's more than one way in and out.

Yes, there are places to rest along the way. The walk can be either a mile or 2.

Yes, there are benches, i would suggest starting early, because while there is some shade, we walked it yesterday morning around 10 and it's getting hot!

Yes there are benches, and shade in parts. There is a long loop, and a short one that goes past the alligator lake, and don't miss the little owl in the office.

The boardwalk is about 1.5 miles from start to finish. There are a few covered areas with benches where someone could stop to rest.
