Only about forty acres make up this refuge, which was
established in the 1920’s with the intention of becoming a breeding
ground for rare tropical birds. Recently, though, the park’s look
has been altered drastically by the developments of man in the region.
I-75 passes directly above the site and a large power plant was built
on the park’s waters.
Much of the wildlife still exists here, and the power plant’s
warm offshoot makes the waters a popular breeding ground for native
manatees.
