Amazing park but pretty long walk. I wish the signs were a little more descriptive about the distance and more water fountains. Overall excellent park!

Amazing place, gorgeous boardwalks and tower. Definitely bring bicycles versus walking if you can, i walked the loop the first time i was here and it took a good 2 hours with stops. I dont know why this place has 3 stars, yes its hot, yes there is bugs, but this is florida!

Fun nature preserve that lets you get away from everything and enjoy the quiet of nature. Probably would have gotten 5 stars if not for the restoration projects that looked like they had done some burning.

Well maintained and even loop hiking trail with smaller trails branching off. Great for walking and biking. Lots of wildlife, a cool fishing bridge and several canoe or kayak beaches and launch points. Park closes at Sunset so plan your walk accordingly. We walked the 2 mile loop at a regular pace and it took us 52 minutes.

Intense one of a kind out of the house nature filled paths to journey on till your hearts delight and Kayaking is spectacular needs to be a 10 star rating. Get out people and breath some fresh air but use social distance please. Stay safe get out enjoy but stay well. Love this place and respect it wholeheartedly my back yard of Zen!

Practice social distance by going to the park, things you need to know. The observation tower is closed, rest rooms are closed, water fountains are closed. Be safe and enjoy the park.

Very nice place. Lots of nature. Trails are clean. Although I think they could be marked better. There are no bathrooms on this trail but there are some at beginning in the park area. Great place for canoe, kayak or fishing.

Robinson Preserve is truly a gem. As a Park Ranger, I come to Robinson Preserve to reconnect my mind, body and soul with Mother Nature. This Preserve serves as a perfect example for Park professional on how to properly manage and protect our natural resources. This Preserve is also dog friendly and the residents who use the park amazingly are very respectful and follow park rules. Robinson Preserve offers great opportunities for paddling within the estuary, nature trails for all levels with wonderful structures for sightseeing and shelters. Biking station at the entrance of the park, kayak storage, kayak/canoe rinse station, CLEAN restrooms, playground for tots, and awesome fishing for even seasoned anglers. The Preserve is maintained by real passionate Park Rangers and volunteers.

Sadly much less wildlife then before the red tide and more recent brown algae blooms. You have to watch out for the high speed spandex crowd who are pretending to be in the last lap of the Tour de France.

Tall structure. Multiple levels of stairs seem intimidating to climb, but the way the structure is built, it allows for the average person navigate them with minimal exertion. The panoramic view from the top is beautiful. Definitely worth the effort to go up there.
