LaBelle Nature Park

"My new favorite place to go and enjoy nature at it's best along the side of a beautiful river with huge oak trees that have Boston ferns growing down all the limbs. You have to see this beautiful place but actually the feeling you get is what's really amazing at this place, I take my shoes off and bond with mother earth when I go here."

"Kind of an interesting place. The trails wind through a heavily planted park with lots of signs to tell you what you are looking at. The plants are really varied so you'll see things that are new to you. There are benches throughout. It is adjacent to a historic house that was also cool to see."

"A nice place to go for a afternoon stroll! Trails are clean and fairly easy to walk through no big trees or brush in the way. Leads the river with some really nice views. You can also hang out at the shelter that offers seating by the river. There are park benches through the trail so if tired you can take a break. You will run into wild life like turtles and rabbits so keep any eye out for holes they make. It did seem like there maybe homeless people camping in the park so just be aware incase you see someone or something walking through the brush you wont confuse for Bigfoot."

"One of our favorite places to go for a little slice of what Florida was once was. A safe haven for Gopher Tortoises and the Zebra Long Wing Butterfly. They both graced us with photo ops today. There are many wildflowers that grow here and visits through the year reveal when you will see them. On the downside, it appears that there is boat debris in the water and trash to be picked or someone may be living there."

"I love this little park! You can almost get lost here with all the meandering trails not directionally marked lol. Entering the park you can go down the more nature trail to the right or you can stay on the main path with the gorgeous oak trees covered on moss and ferns. It leads to a nice bench where the Caloosahatchee river is there to behold. Also a pavilion with picnic tables should you choose to come with family for an outing. I saw a very unusual lizard that was like triple the size of regular ones. There's lots of shells in the Caloosahatchee you can climb down and collect if you want. A wide variety of plants with many of them marked with an identifying placard. It winds around to the old Hendry house."
