We saw a gator, heard another and had a nice walk through the park with a myriad of other animals. Would definitely come and explore more at another time.

Wednesday at 10am there is a free Ranger led walk. Admission is free also. There is a beautiful view of the city from the swamp on the Bayou Coquille trail. -

I highly recommend taking the short guided walk with one of the rangers that is offered 4 days a week in the morning. It's a a good introduction to the area.
