Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area — Attraction in Weston

I’m someone who has to stop and pee a lot so I was thankful to find this rest up with a viewing area to observe the local wildlife. I went both times I went back-and-forth from Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers. It’s definitely gonna be a stop that I take every time I pass it.

The first time I went, it was on a Tuesday and it was very calm and hardly any people. I saw a lot of alligators in the water and it was really neat. It was basically my first time observing alligators in the wild.

I meen the little lady even loves me more than she did 20 minutes.. I know ot, she told. It's just a...

Really nice scenic spot. A couple of picnic tables under a pavilion available and a good size watch tower with wheelchair accessable ramp as well as stairs. We watched a large group go out on one of the party size air boats and watched a small rain storm out on the horizon. The only downside was the amount of trash along the water. People are trash mongers and its sad that I have to see this everywhere I go. I try to pick up trash when I can, but the edges are not safe to walk along; very soft bank and always a risk of nearby gators.

My friends, please dont toss your trash in the water or...
