An excellent nature park and loop trail. Be aware that at 1/25/26 the Green Trail was closed indefinitely.
If you're a birder there's a lot to see. If you just want to get some miles in on a stable base, you can do that too. Just be careful – there are a few boards on crosswalks where you could accidentally step in and break an ankle.
From what I saw they're actively working to correct those boardwalk defects, but one was so bad that the board pivoted and hit one of my hikers. We tagged it with caution tape.
Overall, great hike and beautiful scenery.

Just the boardwalk alone is worth the visit. Beautiful views of the swamp, unique spot for pictures. The exhibit area was very nice. Clean restroom. Very friendly staff who also guide nature activities like bird watching. The playground was another great spot thst the kids enjoyed. A great day trip.

Visited on a cool, fall day and had a great 70 minute walk. Nice boardwalk portions of the trail; the grassy and gravel trails were also great. Saw some waterfowl, but no Gator sightings. There are many scenes of Spanish moss covered trees and bullrushes on the water's edge. We saw many people of all ages enjoying the scenery as well. If you are looking for a place to spend some leisurely walks with scenery, this should be on your list to visit. Dog friendly and some bicycling is available.
