Today was the third time Ive been to Harns Marsh. Its a beautiful marshy area with lots of wildlife to see--mostly birds and insects--while youre walking the 4 mile loop (I couldnt do the full loop). I do recommend going in the cooler hours or months. There isnt much shade and I swear I thought I was starting to get heat exhaustion. Bring lots of water and sunscreen!

I love this hike. An easy 4 miles with plenty of wildlife sightings!

A day of self reflection, evaluation and continuous social distancing at this beautiful and peaceful preserve enjoying geocaching and nature. Loved every minute.

Nice area to observe birds & wildlife. We wanted to walk all the way around the park, but 3/4 way around we werent sure which way to go. Google maps was not helpful and there were no signs. It looked like the trail ended, but we continued to follow what seemed like truck tracks through an open field. We eventually came to a green fence with no signs, we let ourselves through to the other side which crossed some water. It led us back to the parking lot. At one point we thought we might have to turn around and go back the way we came. Please place some signs on the trail to assist first time visitors! It took us 2 hours to walk all the way around.

Nice path for a walk and to see wildlife

Great place for outdoor recreation, fishing, hiking and bird watching

It was peaceful and well kept. Next time I will do more exploring!

My wife and I love to come here for a walk or fishing

Nice scenery, not good fishing though

Always nice. Peaceful. Its not so much Lehighs little hidden secret anymore. This is due to more people moving to the area and word of mouth. This is a beautiful gem.

One of our favorite places to walk and see wildlife in the winter. Most days you will see more than a dozen species of birds, ducks, egrets, herons, ibis, sandhill cranes, limppkins, snail kites, etc. We have also seen interesting snakes and raccoons, including raccoons swimming. The loop is about 4 miles and there are no restrooms. The best viewing is closer to the south end, so if you do not have time, go counter clockwise. We only saw Snail Kites twice, both flying, but others had better luck. By March the number of sightings of all birds was down, but was great in December, January and much of February.

A nice preserve teaming with wildlife. Too bad the Lehigh Acres residents have to trash such a beautiful place.

It was a wonderful experience. Lehigh Acres gift to nature

Beautiful, peaceful, lovely egrets on the shore

It was pure yuck here, I have to find photo of the lake its ligit green

I would be even nicer if people would pick up their trash. But it is a great place to ride your bike and walk your dogs. Must be aware there are alligators out there. So a leash would be best.

Great area to Bird watch, walk bike ride and fish. Place to park a vehicle, but most of the area is only for non motorized making it a great place to unwind. But if you want to sit, bring your own chair

Great place to walk and talk with your friends, loved ones, or puppies. I would caution that there are some people who are littering there. I hope that this review will encourage people to be neat and clean at the park. There are plenty of trash cans for you to use. Use them!!!

Fun to go fishing but you have to find them

Great place to relax őr fish őr watch birds

Nice spot to view wildlife,fish and just a nice short hike.

Good place to run!

This place is so pretty i would really recommend going here

Only giving it 4 stars because there was a good amount of trash in the marsh but otherwise one of the prettiest places in Fort Myers area by far.

Fantastic birding and bird photography location. Nice hike around the marsh.

Such a beautiful place on such a beautiful day. Spent Earth Day with my mom hiking and bird watching. Saw Sandhill Cranes, Egrets, herons, ducks, a Swallow Tailed Kite flew over and around us for a few minutes. Nice 4 mile hike around the marsh. Saw some beautiful colors in foliage. Great local place to hike and see some birds. Great day to spend with mom out in nature. If not familiar with area can get a little confusing finding it, but Waze gets you there just fine.

I lived nearby long bike ride around lake but takes you back to nature

Living not to far from here I visit it quite often. Walking around the marsh youre sure to see lots of birds. Weve seen alligators as well. Its about a 5 mile walk all the way around. It is direct sunlight the whole time, but it is well worth it. There are no restrooms.

The teachers are very nice and its always a fast pace to drop off and pick up my kids

This is a beautiful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Seems to be a nice area but not many fish

Very quite place

If you love views, an birds, this is the place to come, its definitely beautiful here its about a 3.5 mile walk, peaceful an quite.

While it is peaceful there, I really didnt get to see much.

Great place for hiking. Nature at its best

Good for short bike ride. Some places path is a little rough. Good hiking. No buildings, bathroom, or shelters. I didnt, but can fish there.

Nice place to enjoy the nature that God has given us.Water was low in the lake, but the bass were still biting...

We moved out here after 22 years of all the hustle of the Naples/Bonita Springs area...we feel so blessed! Gorgeous wildlife and so peaceful as God made it! We experienced the mating season of the cranes this year from our very own back yard (running parallel to this marsh) and the sounds of their calls are something to experience! A rather large Blue Heron graced us with his beautiful presence in the front yard early one morning! Florida has so many treasured places such as this, we must do everything we can to respectfully preserve this gorgeous land and its beautiful wild life!

An undiscovered gem. Always lots of birds to see. One of my favorite sanctuaries. There are eagles here, and a few glossy ibises here!

Not much natural land left for animals around here or people to visit and enjoy. So this place truly is an amazing sight to see. Especially in world full of nothing but hustle and bustle.

Saw a baby eagle and an adult eagle. Great place to birdwatch.....

Lovely place for a walk with lots of birds. No facilities and no shade, however. You also need to know where you are going to get there. Google Maps knows the way.

We were received by three Sandhill Cranes a group of Black Vultures, a Red-shouldered Hawk, Great Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron and the list continuous on a fabulous birding morning.

Took a loop around the whole thing saw an abundance of wildlife.. it has some beautiful scenery

Love taking the kids on a nice peaceful hike around the lake theres plenty of shade just off the trails. Feels like old Florida(reminds me of being a kid again)

A great spot for a little getaway, peaceful with lots of birds and great for wildlife photography if you can be inconspicuous.

Lots of different types of birds, good photo opportunity for bird lovers, took a tram ride through the preserve, during the event they have yearly. Several venders, and learning opportunities, purchased some raw free range honey from a vendor, attended a presentation on snakes, missed the fossil presentation, Audubon society, Lehigh acres fire Dept were there, plus others with good presentations, had a good time.

A good place to go for a walk

Great place to enjoy the outdoors. Go for a walk, do a little fishing, bird watch or whatever you enjoy doing.

It was here four week ago, upon our first visit to the preserve, that we were pleasantly surprised by what we observed. The water level from what has appeared an average summer rainy season was appealing. This may be perceived a classic case where water is an essential ingredient to viewing of relative wildlife rarities. Drought conditions would certainly negatively impact the presence of wildlife species here. Also we observed species of bird here that I have not seen anywhere else in my two years of diligent birding throughout southwest Florida which included the Limpkin. I found this species to be extraordinary in how its voice gave the venue the appeal of a jungle environment.*****

Great place to fish or bird watch. Watch out for the gators and the giant black horse flies:)

Beautiful nature

It was cold and rainy. And the birds scared my girlfriend!

Beautiful, secluded park.

I love this place. I go walking there all the time. Its so beautiful and serene.

Terrific place

Nice lake to go fishing. You can see the Telapias,bass and done gators. Nice 4 mile trail to walk.

.ive loved thisnplace sense I was a lil kid. The state has really cleaned it up. Perfect fast getaway

Excellent birding area for water birds, Sandhill Cranes, Limpkin, and often Snail Kites.

A nice park right in the middle of a residential area, not easy to find but worth a visit. Hike around the ponds and a few miles of hiking trails are here. Theres geocaches hidden here for fans of that sport.

Loved our visit and found beautiful snail shells.

Trails are great for off road bikes or hiking. View many birds along the way, probably more in December and January.

Lovely spot, but not after 10 am in the summer. Great place to see Snail Kite and also the Gray-headed Swamphen, birds not easily seen elsewhere.

Beautiful quite 4 mile walk around park

Had some friends from out of town come visit took everyone fishing great spot feels like old Florida
