Cherokee Point Conservation Area

"This is an amazing conservation area. There is a big pavilion with picnic tables and grill area also. Free parking, very clean restrooms, a playground, a boardwalk and a gazebo locate close to a small lake. You can enjoy the nature and can see many birds. At the end of the boardwalk you will find another picnic area. I came here with my family in winter time at sunset. We really enjoyed this beautiful place!"

"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."

"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!"

"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..."

"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."
