Wow, wow, wow, Florida! Why have you been hiding this gem. Wonderfully secluded and remote in Jacksonville! Cumbersome forests and bogs, I truly feel as if I were De Soto discovering a new, untamed land. How the heck did they taverse this swampy, muddy, landscape? This preserve brings me to a place where only my imagination and De Soto's writing have brought me before. Some trails are impassable with swamp and I highly recommend taking utmost precaution. Beginners be prepared!
This place is good fun. Nice and quiet. For some reason there is NEVER anyone here. I've been kayaking here twice and it's been a blast ever since.
The waters are always calm and VERY few motorized boats.
Be sure to check the tides before coming out.
