Flat Island Preserve

This property safeguards an impressive and relatively undisturbed natural area consisting of marshes, hardwood swamps, and upland hardwood hammocks. The members of the Florida Trail Association have donated over 1,000 volunteer hours to construct and maintain 4 1/2 miles of foot trails that now provide public access throughout the property.

Activities: Hiking, Canoeing, Camping, Picnicking

Magnolia Island, with primitive camping and trails, is accessible only by canoes and kayaks via the canal system from the Flat Island Boardwalk. Canoe rental and camping are available; please contact the Water Authority office in Tavares for more information.
