Lovey place to visit. It’s a free activity . The lady in the info center was nice and friendly. They long wooden board walk. With lots of wooden benches to sit . Nice activity if u have young children. Spend about 30mins at this place

The Preserve is located about 8 minutes North of Downtown Naples; about a 2.5 mile drive; next to the Naples Zoo. The boardwalk is an easy 0.4 mile walk through the oak scrubs and pine flatwoods. This is great for kids and it is stroller friendly. You'll spot gopher turtles and different plants/trees. The only downside to this is the actual location next to busy U.S. 41. You can see and hear the cars and thier music. I wish it were more secluded by trees. There is a beautiful Weeping Fig tree at the entrance as well as an Earth Globe and a garden. Parking and entrance are FREE and there is a Eco Center to get more information.

Great place for a nice walk on the boardwalk. I always count how many tortoise s I can find! Plenty of parking and a spot for my bicycle!

Nice boardwalk. It was a pleasant way to spend 30 minutes. We didn't see any tortoises, but the lizards were plentiful. 1 pm may not have been the best time of day.

Loooooove this place, and nature there is absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous walking paths leading to the most precious places and lakes!

This is one of my favorite places. It’s so easy to get to, and it’s rarely busy. There’s so many turtles just roaming around to see. Bird watchers would enjoy this as well. The staff in the hut are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. There’s info on all the other things to do in Naples so it’s a good stop for families looking for activities.

Lots of turtles and lizards. Saw a small tortoise and black snake

Great little preserve. Short boardwalk loop in a beautiful setting. Currently lots of turtles, we counted twelve during our brief visit. Nice educational center with pleasant staff. We think we saw an eagle too.

Amazing spot to come and relax, they have books in the entrance you can borrow. We walked the broad walk and we saw 3 gopher tortoise. We talked with Becky, she takes care of everything there and has a lot of knowledge to share. It was a nice and peaceful experience. The pollinator garden has beautiful butterflies, right there in the entrance. Great welcoming.

We went in around 10am and got to see two tortoises out of their burrows. One we could see sticking his head out of his borrow. It wasn’t a nice say our so they probably just stayed in like we should have. lol

Nice preserve. Spent 35 min to walk the whole boardwalk. Spent some time watching the gopher tortoises. We saw 10, others saw 14, in their natural habitat. Good viewing from the sidewalk along 41, as well.

Wow what a fun place to take the family. Beautiful grounds, birds and tortoises. The boardwalk is wonderful. Thank you so much. Will look into donating to this persevere.

The place is absolutely wonderful. The tortoises are so graceful and I just love to watch them. If you are lucky, you can meet Robert. He works there as a volunteer and he can tell you a lot about all these animals and plants there.

Such an amazing nature preserve with tortoises, birds, and other animals to help you enjoy the outdoors.

My wife and I love this little place. We have been going for years just to do the board walk. It's a little nature reserve that allows you to see gopher tortoises in their natural habitat.

Great place .... Not many people know about this place, its close to the road but if you like animals you will live it because you will see a lot of wildlife on the short walk. Many gopher tortoises!!!!!

I had a lovely, quiet walk through the preserve, weather was perfect for a walk in nature. Saw a tortoise, though its hard to see in my photos.

Great little walk with turtles, birds etc. Boardwalk trail. Very peaceful on the middle of the city next to coastland mall. The little library is great. Take a book leave a book such simple pleasure and FREE. Great for kids. I

Amazing urban forest, so important for our ecosystem to keep supporting places like these. The staff is very friendly and give great advice! Thank you Becky!

Beautiful oasis with plenty of interesting plants and tortoises. Wonderful place for a stroll on the boardwalk to get some pictures. Right next to a shopping mall and a zoo.

Nice boardwalk, only thing I didn't like was that it's right off a busy road so there is alot of car noise. Other then that it's a cute little nature area to walk.

Relaxing & beautiful gem 💖 & adorable turtles out n about sunbathing 🐢
