11/1/23 update Went today for a nice walk on a beautiful morning. Saw a pileated woodpecker and heard an Eastern Phoebe and a blue-gray gnatcatcher. Saw a yellow crown night heron and a gator hanging out in one of the ponds. Beautiful preserve to walk and enjoy nature. 03/22/21 update Went today to walk on such a beautiful March afternoon. It was pretty busy today, but so cool to see how different the Slough looks since its been so dry. Saw several snakes, limpkins, egrets, a large soft shell turtle, several small turtles sunning themselves and heard plenty of cardinals singing. Walked a few times around the loop for about 3 miles. Flowers were beautiful, the cypress trees are getting leaves back and just an overall beautiful day in nature. Love walking this place, just be aware it's busy with tourists this time of the year. Definitely worth checking out. Wonderful day out in nature. Met mom to do some exercise at Six Mile Slough. Not too busy for a Monday which was great. A little warm but a nice breeze going through cypress trees. Walked about 3 miles around boardwalk. Saw turtles sunning on logs, a ribbon snake on boardwalk, an ibis, and cormorant. Thought it was one way still but people walking both ways now. Wonderful area in town to enjoy nature, just hate that you can hear road noise, but still pretty. Great place to walk for exercise, will definitely go back and recommend.

Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is an absolute gem in Southwest Florida. The preserve offers free tours led by incredibly knowledgeable volunteers who share their deep understanding of the area's unique ecosystems. To find out when these tours are available, I recommend calling the interpretive center for the latest schedule. The boardwalk through the slough is beautifully maintained, providing a peaceful and immersive experience as you explore the natural beauty of the preserve. The interpretive center itself is well worth a visit, featuring engaging exhibits that share the rich history of the preserve, including the important work of the Monday Group and the intricate details of the biology and hydrology of the area. The center also has a lovely gift shop where you can find unique souvenirs and educational materials to take home. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve offers an educational and serene escape into nature that you won't want to miss.
