The Learning Center has exhibits, some live animals, and is used for educational programs. The park was established to provide opportunities for the community to understand the need to preserve the natural resources along the coastal ecosystem.
A fresh water tank displayed various native fish and a turtle. A couple of snakes and a salamander were also on display.
A playground and a picnic shelter is located near the Learning Center.
Below is a map of the trails in the preserve. There are four habitats here: uplands, prairie, estuarine wetlands, and sand flats.
We set out with our sweet doggie, Sadie, to explore the trails. Not much is in bloom this time of year, but there are lots of spiky plants here.
As we followed the various trails, we came upon multiple observation decks. Some provide views of the bay.
The Osprey Overlook provides the best views of the bay.
Sadie met this 10-month old cutie there. He wanted to play and she wanted to show him she was the boss.
We continued on some unpaved and paved pathways through wetlands and prairie.
We concluded our visit where we began at the Learning Center.
This is a nice serene place to just go for a walk and enjoy nature. There is no admission fee and a parking lot near the entrance.
