  • Great walking area for the family and fur babies! We love bird watching during the walks and paths are well developed and maintained. This is an ideal place for a long walk, run, or just spending...

  • Amazing paths and facilities here, great natural area but easy for accessibility. However trails not marked well and we ended up walking much farther than intended. Would really help if there were...

  • This is a pretty place to bird watch and go for a stroll. Not really a hard-core hiking venue. We did see a large flock of spoonbills and a few great blue herons.

  • What an amazing, gorgeous place. Take a stroll on the white sand trails, enjoy a perfect view of the sunset from the top of the tower, watch the birds, connect with nature. Get your eyes lost where the peaceful blue water meets the rich green wilderness. If you like outdoor experiences, this is some of the best Manatee County has to offer. I hope to come back many times.
  • Nice place, nice trails. Wish there were more over hanging trees to walk through on hot days like yesterday. They have restrooms and water bottle fill stations. However, this park reminded me more of my hikes in the desert than in tropical locations.
  • Beautiful preserve that’s well maintained and has wonderful trails to explore. There are maps located throughout the preserve and paths are well marked. You can come and enjoy running, biking, trail walking, fishing, and bird watching here. I’ve come twice on sundays and there isn’t much of a wait in the early morning. Parking gets a bit more tight later in the morning time. Bathrooms are clean. There is a small park and play area for kids. Kayaking launches are common as well. I love coming here. There is a family of owls located near the entrance as well!
  • Definitely a favourite of mine! Free park entrance and parking and water fountain at the beginning of the walk. Some paved trails, bridges, boardwalks and lookout tower. Dogs allowed. Also a beautiful kayak/ paddleboarding/canoeing area. Lots of wildlife to see too.
  • It has a beautiful trails... Staying in the towers to catch the sunset is surreal. It's a peaceful and relaxing place to walk, tracking, kayaking, ride a bicycle or just for spend the day Enjoy the nature in all the splendor... Smell.. watch... Breath... God has a lot of surprises for you there. Enjoy it! Remember to bring mosquito's repellent. 😃
