    I keep coming back here because I really enjoy the serenity away from the fast pace of hectic Florida. Here is true Florida, how it once was. Come to enjoy a walk on the trails, see the large variety of birds often up close. Great for nature photographers like myself. What you see here really depends on the time of day, the current weather or the season of the year. I highly recommend early morning after sunrise. In my experience, that is when you will see the most wildlife activity. Joe's lookout is the probably the best point for this. Afternoons it can be pretty quiet and not many birds. Wonderful, wonderful place. See more..

    I don’t know why we haven’t visited this place sooner. It’s a wealth of knowledge and entertainment for the adults and the kids. We came with a 13yo and 4yo and both equally enjoyed it. The touch tank and all the hands on exhibits were very well thought out and executed. The boardwalk trails are well marked and I would say accessible to all abilities. We will for sure be returning.

    Do not use 20th street address shown here. It takes you to park service office blog (we know because that's where we ended up). Go to website for Carr Reserve. It is on A1A near beaches, not in downtown area where 20th street is. See more..

    I spent a very enjoyable early morning here, bird-watching. I would have liked to have spent a second morning too as I did not have time to get to the lookouts over the marsh! I had nearly 30 bird species, including 5 species of duck, most of the herons & egrets, Wilson's Snipe, Bald-headed Eagle, Sand Crane, Wood Stork etc. No rails or soars on this trip unfortunately ....
