Come and enjoy a quiet walk on our 2/3 mile
boardwalk leading through the wetlands to a covered pavilion on Lake Apopka. The preserve is open from 8:00 AM until
5:00 PM every day.
The mission of the Oakland Nature
Preserve is to promote understanding of the fragile balances among land,
water, mankind, and the environment by EDUCATING present and future
generations about the natural ecosystems of the Lake Apopka Basin and by
RESTORING and CONSERVING the lands within the Preserve.
