Go for it to be close to Nature.
Awesome park. Great for Freshwater Fishing. The park is well maintained. It is not crowded which is a good thing. Beware of Alligators, they will mostly leave you alone if you keep distance. Good walking trails and a canopy walk.
About $7 dollars entrance fee there is loads to see beyond the ranger station. lovely winding roads with large oaks arching to form tunnels of branches overhead. Plenty of Gators and abundant bird life. If you like man made amenities there is a large gift shop and an impressive cafe overlooking a large body of water. There is also a 70' tower and below a suspension bridge that takes a path through the tree canopy. A great family adventure!
The only down side was the campsites were a little smaller then we're used to seeing. The facilities were clean and well stocked. The scenery, trails, lakes and river were absolutely beautiful....old Florida at it's very best. We can't wait to go back.
This was an accidental find however I will be returning every year. The park and campgrounds are clean and well maintained. The Rangers were very happy and informative. I saw my first alligator in the wild and then kept seeing them! There is so much to see and do here that we stayed an extra day! All of the nature!
Such a beautiful oasis of nature among the over-developed Sarasota area! You will see crocodiles and many other animals in their natural habitat. So many great things to do! Be sure to pick up your map and list of 25 things to do when you arrive. And don't miss out on the canopy tension bridge walk! The tower is awesome!
