Hickey Creek Wildlife and Environmental Area - Wildlife park in Alva - 17980 Palm Beach Blvd, USA

Nice Wold Preserve pity scumbags have to discard their GARBAGE on the trails. TAKE IT HOME!!!!! recycle the bottles Dont be a Tosser. keep up the good work Lee Country try to keep some wild places green

This huge park is comanaged by the county and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It's a big site that, according to the website, "consists of a variety of habitats including palmetto-oak scrub, pine flatwoods, and seasonal wetlands. Views of scenic Hickey Creek can be enjoyed from the trail and overlook areas. The ecosystem presently supports the threatened Florida Scrub-Jay and gopher tortoises." Good hiking trails and there is a kayak launching point though it's a good walk from the parking area. This is Florida. Keep an eye out for wildlife and definitely don't feed them. Never hike alone and always bring a friend. Stay on the trails and don't litter!

Update 10/8/21 Went hiking today and such a beautiful place. They have widened the paths and did some trail maintenance. Saw some woodpeckers and heard tons of cicadas. Beautiful area with huge oaks and hanging spanish moss. Definitely worth a drive there and enjoy nature. Beautiful park. Love that it's close to home and county has bought this 20/20 land to preserve the beauty. Did a hike with my mom on such a beautiful February day. Saw some warblers, woodpeckers, an armadillo and a small alligator. Trails are well marked, plenty of benches and shelters. Make sure to bring water and wear sunscreen. I love nature and so happy this and other parks are around. Thank you 20/20 and Lee County, please preserve more land so we have more beautiful parks like this to enjoy.

$1 for parking. Kayak launch about .05 mile from parking lot. Fishing pier. Multiple benches for resting during your hike. Partially shaded trails and to fully shaded trails. Restrooms @ parking lot.

I was amazed at all the elevation changed there were. I actually felt like I had a great workout. Can't wait to bring my son back!

One of our favorite Sunday hiking places in Lee county. Easy to navigate trails with great nature views and birding. 3 different trails, picking, fishing and kayaking. A great florida experience, all for a couple of bucks for parking. Takes about 3 hours to hike them all. Bring water.

So, perks: Kayak launch Fishing Picnic area Scenic trails Cool flowers Opportunity to see nature The drawbacks: Not wheelchair accessible Horrible for a stroller Very narrow paths, difficult to pass others who are going the other direction Lots of roots everywhere Definitely need hiking boots Not really toddler/littler kid friendly DON’T FORGET WATER!!! Otherwise, the main trail to get to the hiking trails is gravel, and you can get a wheelchair/stroller through most of it, but I still wouldn’t recommend a trip if it’s more than a few minutes away

Get your hiking boots on, there are different levels of hiking trails, even for kids. Don't forget your water 💦 and sun protective gear☀ We all enjoyed the fishing area pier views. There is also a canoe launch down the trail. (No bikes & No pets) Great Bird viewing 👀🐦
