Located at 115 Lameraux Road in Winter Haven, the Center offers a nature center and trails, one of which runs along the shore of Lake Ned. We mainly followed one single trail but there were offshoot trails that we passed by as it was very muddy this day. There's a box on a tree near the parking area that is supposed to hold trail maps but it was empty on the day of our visit so we were flying blind. I didn't see any animals on this trek but Nick almost stepped on a snake at one point and he saw a bunny hop off into the forest.
One of many low hanging areas where we had close encounters with arachnids.
At the entrance from Lameraux road is this carved eagle welcome sign that has rotted slightly.
A slime covered pond. Who knows what creatures lurk beneath the surface!
A mossy section of trail that was a welcome relief from the mud.
Look out for spiders!
A quiet corner of Lake Ned.
So beautiful!
