This is as far as I ventured to go into the Maple Walk Trail !
It is a 1/3 mile foot trail through a wet, soggy, muddy Red Maple and Cypress Swamp.

The Prairie Overlook Trail is a 1 mile loop through an Oak - Cabbage Palm Community. The foot ground trail is somewhat rugged due to tree roots running across the trails. The trail weaves through lush vegitation and tall palms.

About midway into this trail, we come across the Boardwalk leading to the Prarie Observation Platform.

At the top of the 20 foot Observation Platform, we get a great view of the open Prairie below.
The trail back to the Nature Center is smoother. Here we see Slash Pines in the background.
