Turkey Creek Nature Trail, Niceville

Beautiful, peaceful and free. Can take a dip in the creek (from one of the platforms) to cool off. Picnic area at the mouth of the trail - benches, tables and weather cover. Bathrooms available right off the parking area. Great for kids and families. Very sweet memorial on the trail for local persons who have passed. Wasn't much wildlife to see, probably because the popularity of the trail results in too many humans being around. Nice place for a walk and picnic though.

Beautiful views of the bayou and creek with interesting wildlife viewing opportunities of your watch off the trail. The park trail is on a raised walkway suitable for everyone to have a comfortable walk. There are opportunities to enter the water of the creek at various points along the creek in startlingly clear water given the surrounding environment. Some parts of the park, like most parks of its kind, are in need of some repairs and attention although work is clearly being done to improve the facilities.
