About the Business
The Lake Monroe Conservation Area in Osteen, Florida is a beautiful park and zoo that encompasses a large portion of the floodplain of Lake Monroe. With wetlands making up 94 percent of the property, this area provides essential water quality and flood protection. The natural communities within the conservation area include floodplain marsh/wet prairie and floodplain swamp/forest. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of open floodplain marsh, primitive camping in a shady oak hammock, and the chance to spot Florida scrub-Jays in the high sandy scrub area. The property also offers two parking areas for convenience. Explore the rich history of the area, where Native Americans once hunted and fished, and learn about Minnie Beck Kratzert, whose family owned the property until it was sold to the district in 1987. Keep an eye out for a variety of wildlife, including waterfowl, wood storks, bald eagles, deer, and alligators. Please remember to respect Florida's wildlife and use caution while visiting the conservation area.
Reviews
"Lots of people and trash. Would be a beautiful place if cleaned up."
"Every time I come out here, I see wildlife. Deer, hogs, gators, owls, etc. The scenery is amazing. Highly recommend (bring water /mud boots)"
"Very easy to find all 3 trail heads in the 415 area. I found the trail muddy in some areas and was glad to have good, waterproof hiking boots. Headed off onto what is called the yellow trail but it's not blazed. It's marked with ties on the trees but even these petered out and I could not locate a trail with all the new, spring growth. I spotted 2 baby wild pigs basking side by side in a ray of sunshine :-)"
"Nice and peaceful, though very wild so waterproof hiking boots are recommended, the path tends to wash out after heavy rain. Also be aware that hunting is allowed within the conservation area so be sure to check the sign posted on the fence before entering, and wear some form of easily visible/colorful clothing item"
"Its pretty quiet, great paths, not much else. 2 bars t-mobile, 68 channels scanned in on tv, so thats a plus...."
