History

This park's 2,000 acres encompass mangrove forests, freshwater and saltwater wetlands and uplands communities.

Much of the preserve is in various stages of habitat restoration which is intended to return agricultural land to its natural and ecologically diverse condition.

As restoration efforts continue, recreational facilities such as hiking trails, canoe/kayak launches, a boat ramp and interpretive kiosks are planned. Currently, kayaking is the primary activity within the preserve.
