What runners say about Savannas Preserve State Park Environmental Education Center
“South Florida is beautiful, and this park really captures its beauty.”
I’m always a fan of Savannas’. You are almost not ever disappointed with seeing birds, gophers, and gators. This is a new fairly new park. Absolutely beautiful ride to the back. We saw a gopher having dinner on the way in. I wasn’t sure what type of trail there would be.
A well-maintained trail system. Knowledgeable, friendly ranger at the canoe launch area when we were there. A different type of state park from the wooded ones up north. My family enjoyed it.
Wonderful park for bird watching! There is no shade so pack plenty of water & sunscreen. Great education center too. I will be back in the fall :)
Great trails... some I was able to take the stroller on... others were too tight to do so but overall beautiful hiking spot.
