Kitching Creek Preserve is a 51-acre nature area that is a great example of restored wetlands. The one mile natural trail loops around wetland marsh and a lake where you can view a diversity of native and migratory birds as well as native Florida wildlife such as otters and alligators. Half way around the loop is a peninsula that jets out into the lake where you can have a lunch or a rest on a picnic table. And don’t forget to look up as you may see any of our raptors flying above such as bald eagles or red shouldered hawks.
Please follow Leave No Trace and keep our natural areas in Martin County healthy, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.
