About this property
This conservation area protects almost 1.5 miles of the Econlockhatchee River and its associated floodplain and uplands. The property was purchased for conservation purposes to enhance the protection of the Econlockhatchee River and to add to a corridor of nearby conservation lands that includes Hall Scott Regional Preserve and Park, Seminole County’s Econlockhatchee Wilderness Area to the northwest, and Little Big Econ and Charles Bronson State Forests further north.
This property is special because it protects some of the only remaining natural sandhill community in eastern Orange County. Visitors say it also has some of the prettiest floodplain swamp found along the Econlockhatchee River. Though a small property, it offers almost 3 miles of nice trail where visitors will be able to traverse sandhills to pine flatwoods to swamp and the river within a short distance.
