Weedon Island Preserve

I love coming here and walking the trails. It’s clean and quiet. The boardwalk gives the best views! You can spend an entire day here exploring, the trails are pretty extensive. I love that they have a little gift shop with water, snacks, gifts and restrooms. It’s a nice break from the heat and the staff is really helpful. You can see all kinds of animals here as well. We saw quite a few turtles in the wooded areas, lots of different birds. It would be nice to come here and bird watch. The parking is convenient too, you can park really close to the trails so that works out well. I love here I’d highly recommend coming here.

Absolutely worth coming here. I went about 2 hours before a storm and had to cut my visit short because there is just so much trailing to do. The views, the trails, the wildlife, everything is amazing. The observation decks and towers are great, and the Cultural Center is impressive for what I've seen in other parks. A great experience, would recommend heavily. Its free too, and you can donate in the center.

This is a local gem. Lots of walking trails, there is also a visitor center/ museum type of place you can visit during certain hours. It’s very nice to come here for peace and quiet. See some local wildlife such as gopher tortoises, armadillos, many local birds to watch. There is also a kayak launching and rental within Weedon Island. I am so lucky to live so close to this beautiful place.
