Circe B Bar Reserve

This nature preserve has been mentioned and the subject of several posts in the past few days. It is located southeast of Lakeland, Florida (about 30 minutes southwest of Orlando on I-4). It is a former ranch that was purchased for preservation, and is one of Central Florida's premier spots to see Florida nature at its best. We visited yesterday when it was cool and clear - a perfect day. This area has "all the usual suspects" (herons, egrets, and alligators), osprey, bald eagles, spoonbills, limpkins, and many more. We were fortunate enough to have an owl call out as we were walking by, so we knew he was there.
Beautiful trail to the lake.

Nice pics. Really like the trail. But how on earth do y'all live with those floating mankillers?

Good job Doc! You can see why I like that place so much because it has it all without having to cover much ground(ie Merritt Is). The oak trees and Spanish moss are so beautiful!

Thanks for posting some photos of the trail so we could see what the reserve itself looks like. Beautiful place...wish it weren't so far! Excellent photos thanks for sharing.

Thanks. We never, ever, get to go swimming in any lake or pond no matter how hot it is! That is sad.
