Come at 3:00 in the afternoon, and you will see feeding time for all of the wildlife! It was awesome. We saw dolphins, water snakes, and tons of birds.

This park has always been my happy place. I love sitting on the waters edge watching dolphins and manatees swimming by. It's a great place to boat, fish or have a cookout. It has playgrounds for kids as well. Perfect for a day with the whole family. If you bring peanuts the squirrels will eat them out of your hand.
