Amazing hiking available for all skill levels. Clearly marked paths, water stations throughout and great wildlife. Bird watching, Gator spotting and tortoises galore. They have a nature center with different kinds of falcons, owls and a Bald Eagle. Inside there is a unique Bunny named Honey who is the largest bunny breeds and is 12lbs of fluff.
Boyd Hill Nature Preserve is amazing! There's so much beautiful nature you can see on the trails and they also have a great environmental education center you can visit. You may even see one of the awesome gopher tortoises that live in the preserve! 🐢
Best nature walk, because usually not crowded with beautiful old oaks and hanging moss beside the lake. Have to be careful not to go too near the lake due to alligators.....some quite large. Just have to be sensible. Nice gift shop and bathroom facilities and cool fresh water supplied along the trail.Always a wonderful experience.
A slice of old Florida hidden in the big city. Perfect place to take a quiet walk in nature and get away from the rat race. Some folks complain about the admission fee, but we're happy to pay. Someone has to maintain the grounds, run the visitor center, and take care of the birds in the aviary. It's worth it.
Beautiful place, we never thought it was so big. Is peaceful, perfect for a date, good for kids, great to have a perfect walk with all the family. The staff is really helpful and welcoming. We got there around 3 o'clock and we didn't ever notice that 3 hours pass by. Amazing time. Definitely we will come back.
