    Just wow! Osceola County did an amazing job saving this conservation area and turning it into a place for the public to enjoy. There is a plenty of parking as well as adequate handicap spots. As you enter the conservation it would benefit you to “Read The Rules” so you’re well aware of your surroundings and what is and isn’t allowed. Walk out on the beautiful gazebo that takes you onto a fairly large pond, bring your camera, you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy the turtles, alligators, butterflies and an abundance of different bird species. There is well maintained walking path that takes you around the pond. Take time to look around, there are so many trees and shrubs that are indigenous to the state of Florida. Bring your fishing pole and catch some bluegill, not for the grill, these fish are catch and release only. The huge pavilion is suitable for school field trip gatherings, family reunions, child’s party, a work social event or even as a wedding venue. The restrooms are huge and have plenty of space for changing. (Remember to not disturb the on property residence unless you have an emergency) No need to bring a grill, next to the pavilion is a large triple grill, you will however, need to bring your own steaks. The kids will be entertained for hours on the modern playground as the parents play horseshoes. It would be extra fun if brought along your own Cornhole or croquet set. There is about a mile long broadwalk that takes you right through the conservation area and leads to a smaller, covered pavilion. You will get a panoramic view of the conservation. I witnessed Sandhill Crane, Roseate Spoonbill, several alligators and even a small water snake. Bring your kayak or canoe and launch just a few hundred feet from the entrance. It astounds me that more people are not taking advantage of this free- pristine park. I love dogs, but you’ll have to leave them home, Dogs are prohibited, for obvious reasons. If you want to get adventurous visit Wild Wiley’s Airboat rides a miles miles away. Remember, take nothing but footprints, photos and life long memories.

    As far as conservation areas go this one is small and beautiful but lacks any real outdoor activities. There is a lovely boardwalk to the lake and a pavilion that can accommodate any size group. You can also launch canoes and kayaks here but you have to carry them 500ft to the dock from the parking lot. Most of what you can do here is limited to wildlife viewing and picnicking, as the majority of the area is set aside for conservation purposes and unusable for hiking, camping, or paddling. All and all, a nice little place to go for a relaxing time outside but not a place to go for more strenuous adventures.

    This is such a beautiful hidden gem. It's best to come here at sunset to enjoy the incredible views. Lots of nature to explore and gaze at. We brought our the children here and didn't worry about them walking off of the trail, as it has very well built railings. Bring your kayak and launch it from the kayak and canoe dock. The kids playground is big enough for my children to enjoy together. Truly a hidden gem!

    What a beautiful and less travelled area. Excellent boardwalk that takes you quite far from the caretakers house. Canoe and kayak landing too. Play area with slide etc. Very large covered picnic area with large ceiling fans, cold water.

    Gorgeous hidden gem. Has 2 trails one by the pond and a board walk by the house. Also has a playground, restrooms and picnic benches. Looks like a Absolutely beautiful spot to throw a party. If you sit and just listen you can hear birds, frogs, crickets and nature. Perfect place to just walk and relax or have a picnic in the gazebo.

    Remote picnic spot on Lake Toho. Great place to enjoy nature. It is very clean and well maintained. Restrooms are available, as is a large picnic area. There is a small pond with a gazebo. You can walk a short trail along the lake and watch the wildlife. There is also a possibility to put your canoe or small boat in the water.

    Nice, quiet place for group gatherings. Ample parking and a good number of restrooms. Covered picnic tables were perfect. I liked that there was a playground and running space for the kids. I only wished the playground was covered, somewhat, as a lot of the kids we went with were starting to burn from the Florida sun.

    There's a thoughtful memorial for Frank Attkisson for which Cherokee Point conservation was built. In addition, there are clean restrooms, a wonderful wooden pathway to walk to a picnic table and kayak ramp. Many things to take photos of

    Bring the family fishing. There is a small Gazebo over pond with a Catch & Release rules for fishing. Bluegills, Bass and Catfish. Watch out for about a 5 ft. Gator that seams to show up just when you catch a nice fish. Many Birds use the pond for nesting and feeding along the waters edge. Kind of out of the way but worth the trip. Boardwalk leads to Kayak Pier and also to another Gazebo at the edge of West Lake Toho. Plenty of parking even for Handicap users. ♿️

    Great place to take pictures of nature.. very relaxing and a way to lose stress. Lots of opportunities to see from eagles to cranes , turtles and many different types of nature animals.. highly recommended.. There's a long boardwalk that takes you to the lake...

    What an amazing scenic place to visit. You really get the genuine feeling of being disconnected from the "big" city rigorous. Super clean and quiet. This place is so tucked into nature; off the beaten path, it's easy to lose track of time and relax. Go for an hour and stay half a day. Great playground. Amazing patio/pavilion. You can even fish the small ponds. Nice! Oh, and you can't hear the highway because none of them are near, hah!

    Very peaceful and tranquil place. Perfect to visit during the cooler weather season.

    There are restrooms with plumbing. There is not a lot to here. It is good for bird watching. There is a boardwalk over a swampy area to a Bowery with one picnic table.

  • 5/5 Zach 1 year ago on Google
    A bit off the beaten path but it’s a beautiful location with a lot of different species of birds, it’s a well kept area with a huge walk way that leads over a marshy area with informational signage along the path, I definitely recommend it for a calm quite day.

    It's a short walk but the beauty makes up the difference, super peaceful. There is a small park for children as well as a catch and release pond out front and shaded picnic tables, drinking fountain and rest room's. A nice place to relax
