Cutesie preserve right off the bike trail! Paved parking. They have facilities and a small museum! Boardwalk leads to Lake Apopka. Unforgettable chance to see the fireflies in the spring 😊 Donations help! 🫶

Enjoyed Mother Nature during a quiet early morning walk at one of Central Florida’s best spots. The boardwalk to the lake is particularly busy on weekends but on a weekday it can be yours alone. If you haven’t been here yet you must visit. Highly recommended!

Very peaceful, lots of active wildlife throughout. There was even an armadillo running around the brush. He was a super loud walker haha. Lots of birds and gaters super close at the dock around dusk. Each time I’ve came here it’s been lovely. Calendar also...Read More

Watch out for cyclists who don't actually stop when they clearly have a stop sign right at the entrance where cars are entering from the highway. Beautiful, peaceful, easy and well maintained short boardwalk trail that ends in a scenic view of the lake. This in...Read More

This is very nice set of trails just off the West Orange Trail (WOT). There are a few dirt trails at the entrance from WOT, one with a small exercise course. One leads back to an ancient old sinkhole. But the main attraction is the...Read More

This isn’t a long trail but great fun for kiddos. The boardwalk trail is handicap accessible. The red of the trail is not. We have seen a bob cat here while being very quiet but if you’re making noise you’re not likely to see any...Read More

This is a beautiful location. Short but picturesque hiking trails with lots of stops to talk about the environment. Great for younger kids. Includes a small museum and learning center. Everyone was kind and welcoming. The boardwalk to Lake Apopka was really nice and the...Read More

Gorgeous nature boardwalk that is absolutely full of wildlife! The covered dock overlooking the lake was serene and beautiful, with a ton of baby alligators taking shelter in its shadow.

ONP is a wonderful local resource. So great to be able to protect some of central Florida from encroaching development. The preserve also provides numerous educational / awareness events throughout the year. The trails are clearly marked and well maintained. Frequent updates...Read More

Beautiful nature preserve! First time going and I spent well over 2 hours just exploring it--there's still many trails to check out next time I go. Not many other people there, very peaceful, a must see. Just 20min from where I am in Clermont and...Read More

Great serene place to go for a walk by yourself to gather your thoughts or fun with the family seeing the baby gators or birds. Advise you to bring plenty of water per person as it is a good mile walk to the lake view...Read More
