Nice spot to hike through an example of Floridas cypress swamp ecosystem. Plus, book an airboat ride from here, lovely picnic spots, and can imagine the birding will be stellar in the winter.

Trails were grassy but high about 10 inches. Despite airboat noise there was bird activity. Butterflies and few birds were posing for camera. No gators, snakes, mosquito ,hawks or osprey. Cypress trees with moss are picturesque. Flowers were on both sides. Many eggs were dug up and eaten. In summer it would b hot, not much shade.

The air boat tour was very nice. Saw a lot of birds and alligators. Right next to the boat. The guide knew fun bits of information. They need to have a better address. Their address was not in my brand new Garmin GPS

Great place to go for airboat rides with fantastic scenery and wildlife to view. There are boat ramps to put your boat in the water. Fishing is good and if you are a photographer there are great shots to be had. Airboat operators require reservations, check the web for several different operators who use site.
