Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park
A 46,000-acre preserve protecting the Charlotte Harbor shoreline, with hiking walk-throughs and paddling trails.
Upland trail sections are reached at pedestrian walk-through entrances in each section of the preserve, and portions of two paddle trail systems wind through the park. There is no drinking water in the backcountry and seasonal flooding can close trails — call 941-575-5816 for current trail conditions.
