Im from out if town and always looking for places to walk/hike. This little piece of paradise was recommended to me and only .5 mi from where Im staying. I hooked up with the Audobon work party this morning, planning to help. I didnt expect the education I got on the flora from the members. At the entrance is a butterfly garden. The trail winds through a beautiful jungle made up of ferns, trees, flowers and so much more! I was told that river otter have been spotted in the canal. It took about a hour to stroll through, stopping to admire all around me. I recommend bug spray and going early morning.

In the middle of a residential neighborhood, but still feels isolated. Probably the most informative trail Ive ever walked. Prone to seasonal flooding. 3/4 mile long.

Beautiful park with tons of potential if cleaned up. Its really unkept. Wish we could get a clean up crew out there

Visited on an overcast and warm day but many creatures were stirring... cardinals, squirrels, marsh rabbits, bard owl, great blue heron and more. In less than the distance of walking 10 New York city blocks, the parks single outer- loop pathway is just the right length, 2640 feet long for an easy hike. Would be a great place to hold an Eco-blitz!

A small nature preserve in a residential area of Port Charlotte. A good place for a walk through palm trees and live oaks.

Such an amazing trip here today had the wonderful opportunity to see an adorable river otter swimming down the canal my first time seeing one super super excited!! Also saw many different kinds of birds, fish swimming in the water, lots of lizards and squirrels and a beautiful butterfly all within not even an hour of being here, we will definitely return soon!

The county or whomever is in charge really needs to go out there and clean up the landscaping and remove a giant bees nest or hive, whatever. That would really make it more enjoyable and safer...

Nice place just to take a wander with the family. Not looked after, some trees with plaqe are dead and so another gift given to the county but completely ignored by this entity who is supposed to maintain.

This is a very beautiful natural park. I only wish I had caught a few fish. People tend to clean up after themselves too. I didnt see one piece of trash anywhere.

Nice spot for a quiet walk in nature. Well marked paths and a surprising variety of habitats for a small place. Can get very muddy and wet towards the back in the cypress swamp area, but otherwise easy walking.

This is an amazing nature trail on 8 acres surrounded by canals. It takes about 1 hour to walk the trail. There are 3 eco systems: Oak Hammock, Flatland Pine and Cypress Swamp. There is a butterfly garden near the entrance and a bird garden on the canal that will be completed by the end of 2019. Lots of wildlife like otters, squirrels, Gopher Tortoises, birds, butterflies, rabbits, etc.

This is a beautiful place . Luckily we are able to launch our small boat into the canals to fish. Its very peaceful. We regularly catch fish. One time we caught 18 bass in one day. My fiance has also caught a snapper there as well. We always throw them back. There are turtles,blue herons,egrets and many other birds to see. Unfortunately we had to walk a bit off the trail to get to a facility,but other than that,its always a great inexpensive way to spend a weekend day. Check it out!!

This a nice quiet little park with a little walking trail. There is a canal that runs through it. Part of the park trail (The very beginning) is wheelchair accessible to the water view. I wouldnt drive a long distance to visit but nice for a stop if youre in the area.

It is a nice walk around the island. In places the path is wet and muddy. There are areas where you are walking over roots. Probably not a good idea to go there if you are handicap.
