Never know what you will see

I love this place! I’ve seen lots of wildlife from squirrels to bobcat and a few gators in between. Have to keep kids close but that’s a given. Best to visit is early in the day.

Nice Hiking Area

Great wildlife viewing. Plenty of birds - owls, hawks, water birds and more. Alligators, wild pigs and otters. Nice place near town to escape and stretch your legs.
