Great area for a quick nature walk. The boardwalk isn't too long and there are some shaded areas along it to pause and appreciate the wildlife. You can find a ton of birds, iguanas, turtles, fish, and therr are alligators although I didn't see any!

Probably the best birding spot in South Florida! You can see all the same birds as in the Everglades National Park, but in a more concentrated area. You can even see birds in the wet season that are too scattered to see at the NP. Lots of species roost here at night, so it's beautiful right before sunset. There are also a bunch that nest here in the spring! If you love birds, you have to check it out.

lovely. Nice quiet walk with lots of wildlife to see. Bird numbers wax and wane with season but even midsummer you'll see plenty of heron,egrets, cormorant... Also fish, turtles, iguana, alligators... beautiful flora.
-
Really nice little park with an abundance of wildlife. Nice walking trail and the parking wasn't too bad at all. Would come back, as I enjoy nature and wildlife. Saw a gator, and dozens of types of birds.

Lovely place to see if you haven't done so! Lots to capture on camera or if you enjoy bird watching. Lots of different types of critters but enjoyable non the less!
