Beautiful place, looks like the land that time forgot. Lots of weird shaped trees and roots protruding from the ground. Really have to take your time and explore all the trails to find all the interesting spots. Seems like everytime we go we find something new. Friendly turtles in the pond that your not supposed to feed but they are obviously accustomed to it. Gopher tortoises just kind of chilling by their burrows. A woman we met at a trail intersection saw a snake but couldn't identify it. Looks like they would be everywhere but I've never seen any there in a dozen visits or so. Overall a great place to take the family if you enjoy outdoors and togetherness. And you can get a little exercise if you wish or just chill at the picnic tables. They even have a dog water fountain at the entrance, seriously. It's a foot off the ground. The bathrooms work, what else can I say.
