Stretching over 1,600 acres, the park is a meticulously engineered wetland, offering visitors a chance to experience the lush marshes, tranquil lakes, and vibrant hardwood hammocks up close. Home to a wide array of wildlife, including alligators, bald eagles, and hundreds of bird species, the park is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. While there are no tram tours, a comprehensive network of trails and boardwalks allow guests to immerse themselves in the serene beauty and observe the varied wildlife, all while learning about the park’s significant role in water treatment and environmental conservation. The Orlando Wetlands Park truly represents a successful symbiosis of human intervention and nature’s resilience.
