Boyd Hill Nature Park & Lake Maggiore Environmental Education Center

Boyd Hill is 245 acres of pristine Florida wilderness. The park is one of the region's least discovered yet most remarkable natural habitats, with its five distinct eco-systems situated in the state's most densely populated county. Miles of trails meander through hardwood hammocks, sand pine scrub, pine flatwoods, willow marsh and the Lake Maggiore shoreline. As part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Great Florida Birding Trail, Boyd Hill is a haven for even the most seasoned birder. There is also a new environmental center with permanent and roving diplays portraying native florida.

Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. year round, closed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Fees: Adults (18+): $2; children (3-17): $1. Tram tours $1 plus trail admission.
