Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, Fort Myers

Beautiful piece of heaven on earth. If you need a place to unwind from all the busyness of life this is the place to be. Enjoy a walk through this natural habitat with a perfect boardwalk hike. Definitely for all ages from the youngest learning about plants/animals to seniors appreciating the peacefulness of the area. Go, spend some time and relax before returning to life outside the gates. You need it…believe me.

This is an AMAZING place to visit. While surrounded by city life, it is hidden away enough to where you really feel detached from society. When you enter, it feels like you're walking through a different world entirely. If you go late afternoon or early morning, you will see an abundance of wildlife. Herons, alligators, owls, and so much more have been seen here. I hope you visit and get the chance to see the life that existed before humans settled the area!
