Details
Twin Oaks Conservation Area provides an easy grassy trail through reclaimed cattle land, offering wonderful scenery including views of Lake Toho, Florida grassland and huge oak trees. This is a great place to go birding, especially for bald eagles.
Other amenities include picnicking, fishing, horseback riding (on a separate trail) and a canoe launch on the lake.
Two boardwalks provide excellent perspectives on the lake for birding.
Thanks to one of our readers for providing a heads-up and the photo below for this new Osceola County Environmental Land, opened in October 2013. We’ve visited twice since. This is an excellent park for photographing birds!
