 About Estero Bay Preserve State Park

A trail at Estero Bay lined with trees and brush.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Robert Brooks

With summer upon us the ten miles of trails at the Estero Bay Preserve State Park offer an opportunity to get far away from the asphalt and concrete of shopping centers and cities. We have trails for hiking and biking at the Broadway Scrub entrance to the preserve and hiking trails at our Winkler Point entrance. There are currently no facilities at either location (but we are working to change this at Broadway – watch for the opening of our new parking area). Remember to bring water and other personal items you may need with you.  Please be advised that the summer rains have the potential to cause flooding on some parts of our trails, this is especially prevalent at Winkler Point.  The staff at Koreshan State Historic Site will be glad to provide you with information for Estero Bay Preserve State Park, Koreshan State Historic Site and Mound Key Archaeological State Park. Please contact the park on 1.239.992.0311.
