This is a wonderful park to spend an hour or so with a camera searching out creatures of the Mangroves that you may never have seen before..
The trail is best with a knowledgeable guide. The kayak and canoe rentals are very affordable and the best part of the park allowing for intimate interaction with the wildlife as fish fly out of the water and birds soar overhead. Recommended for any nature lover or any one just trying to get away from the chaotic urban world.

A Walk in Paradise

Amid the hustle and bustle of Fort Lauderdale is the Anne Kolb Nature Center. A serene place to spend an hour or two. The boardwalk over the mangrove swamp is very interesting as well as the nature museum. You feel that you are far away from civilisation.
