A 225-acre natural area with more than five miles of foot trails including an ADA accessible boardwalk and one of the first "green" buildings in the state. The 11,400-square-foot Education and Visitor Center contains hands-on, interactive exhibits and teaching space that includes live animals as well as fresh and salt water tanks, including a live loggerhead sea turtle. The center also features its own planetarium.
