Amazing observation tour. The day we were there we saw wild horses, wild turkey, buffalo and deer. Well done nature/visitors center that offers great historical data on the park. Beautiful walking and biking trails too!

Sweetwater Wetlands City Park in Williston. Very nice. Saw lots of nature, water birds and heard several alligator grunts and one visible alligator display and twerking in the water, totally awesome. Great City Park. $5 entry per car fee. about 3.5 miles of trials and boardwalks over marsh and ponds.
