Reviews of Payne’s Prairie
"Went to see the sunrise on New Years Day! Walked along a boardwalk above the water, then hiked a bit after rhe park openwd. It was quite cold but very enjoyable!!"
"2023-12-15: This review is for the parking area in front of the Ecopassage Observation Boardwalk. This is a small area with very limited parallel parking. This morning was cool and very breezy and yet parking was getting scarce. I was there from 6:30 am to 7:45 am. The view on the boardwalk is beautiful and full of wildlife."
"A very pleasant tourist attraction and nice resting area to hike and explore various forms of nature. I even get to meet (but not stand too close to) the alligators! It definitely feels like the swampy atmosphere Florida is known for."
"Hiked 26 miles in three visits. Needs more state funding. People that work there are exceptionally kind. 26 bison. 31 horses. Thousands of alligators."
