This 1,267 acre wilderness area, in Polk County, is home to large numbers of various wildlife.

Originally, this was a wet area connected to Lake Hancock. From 1927 and for the next 70 years, this land was drained to make the land more suitable for cattle ranching.

In 2000. the property was purchased by Polk County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District to restore the main wetland known as Banana Creek Marsh.

Since the acquisition, restoration of the marsh and upland is ongoing, creating habitat and providing food sources for thousands of resident and migrating birds and other wildlife.

If you are in or coming to Florida, I strongly recommend this as a great place to spend at least a day.

I have many, many photos to share, but I will spread them out over several days Chapter One begins now. Hope you enjoy my work.
