Geocache Description:

Read about one of the original citizens who developed Okeeheelee Nature Center and then about what happened back in 1980.


This is a 3 stage multi following along part of a trail. You can access the trails during normal park hours. The nature center does not have to be open for you to enjoy the trails.

Okeeheelee Nature Center features 2.5 miles of trails winding through 90 acres of pine flatwoods and wetlands. Highlights of the center include hands-on exhibits, animal encounters and a nature related gift shop. Many things to look at inside, touch a live snake or prowl for owls during one of our many programs scheduled throughout the year for families, youth and adults. There is some shade on the trails and several benches throughout the trails. Three overlooks are also along the nature trails, mostly on the western side. The nature center hours vary.

 


One of the original members of the citizens advisory committee has a dedication plaque up the stairs at the posted starting cords. Read the plaque to get answers to stage 2. Grab a trail map nearby if you want.   If no maps available, you can download it here.
