Arrive at the entrance on the north side of S.R. 60. Settle into the shaded oak hammock near the small pond. Keep your voice low to spot alligators, deer, otters, and a wide variety of birds. The picnic table is available for resting your gear.
09:00
Check the route for the nearest lunch spot. There are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity of the anchor, so plan to grab a bite nearby after your visit.
09:30
Head back toward S.R. 60 to conclude your walk. Remember that restrooms are not available at the creek, so use facilities before you arrive or after you leave.
Local tip
The creek is open from 6AM to 6:30PM (or 5:30AM to 8PM during Daylight Savings Time). Arriving early ensures you catch the birds while the area is quietest.
Check before you go
- Verify the current opening hours for Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
- Bring your own water and snacks as there are no facilities on site.
- Check local traffic on S.R. 60 if you are driving from outside the immediate area.
