As the weather cools off in Florida, I encourage everyone to visit a new place of nature if possible, whether it’s a city park, nature preserve, state park, natural spring, national or state forest, or something else.

🌴🌲🌳

Please make sure you’re enjoying nature responsibly, though, and respecting the wildlife! (Take nothing but photos and leave nothing but footsteps, look but don’t touch, etc.)

Please visit: https://www.leegov.com/parks?Project_Num=0253 for trail information as some trails may be closed. #floridalife #caloosahatcheeregionalpark is situated along the #caloosahatcheeriver in #alva and is rich in natural history. In the ‘60’s, the State of #Florida purchased the land and turned it into the Caloosahatchee Regional Park. The park is managed by #LeeCounty and a #pineflatwoods #scruboak #cypressswamps and #oakhammock #park spanning over 768 acres, with over 20 miles is dedicated to hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. On-site you’ll find picnic pavilions, a lodge, barbeque grills, kayaking, park programs, a river overlook, a fishing pier and the ability to camp with tents. The #trail and trail loops located south of CR 78 are for #hikers only, with the north side trails for #mountainbiking #hiking and #equestrianuse Instrumental in the maintenance of the trail system is provided by the #CaloosaSaddleClub and the #FloridaMudcutters #mountainbike club. The course of the Caloosahatche River was altered in the ‘50s so workers moved the muddy land to the northern bank of the river, found in East Lee County. Unknown at the time, they helped set the groundwork for a future recreational treasure. The Northern part of the park is 400 acres of hard-packed clay, with 15-foot ridges in spots, which is covered with exotic grasses and trees. Six recreational mountain bikers recognized the obvious and with some work, the overlooked patch of land was transformed into incredible mountain-biking terrain. #themoreyouknow #floridafacts #flogrown #beautiful #mothernature #theunicornfloridian #swfl #fortmyers #peaceful #floridavibes #video (at Caloosahatchee Regional Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT-Aj9tFFvI/?utm_medium=tumblr
