Pine Glades Natural Area

About

A wetland preserve with four trails ranging from a short paved path to longer sandy loops through 6,651 acres of marshland. Pine Glades attracts wading birds like roseate spoonbills and herons, making it popular with families who enjoy birdwatching and nature photography. The paved Quail Trail works well for younger kids or strollers, while older kids can handle the longer sandy trails. There's a kayak launch if your family wants to explore the wetlands by water, plus covered pavilions for breaks. No restrooms on site, so plan accordingly for longer visits.
