| Description: This state forest, located two miles from the east shore of Lake Okeechobee, represents a remnant of the northern portion of the Everglades and includes pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, wet prairies, and freshwater marshes. There are four loop trails of varying lengths developed by the Florida Trail Association. Watchable wildlife: Several bald eagles nest here. Herons, egrets, wood storks, and white ibis hunt for food in the marshes close to the road during the wet season. Look for white-tailed deer and wild hogs around dawn and dusk.
