Wuesthoff Park
Nature trail is open after 7 am until dark. The Homer Powell Nature Center is located at Wuesthoff Park, a 25 acre community park off Barna Avenue just south of SR 50. Visitors who drop by for a leisure hike will discover a natural Florida forest with three distinct woodland habitats: a wetland area, hardwood hammock and upland pine forest. The half-mile sandy nature trail wanders under towering trees through native plant and animal habitats, providing a glimpse of the natural Florida frontier.
Near the nature center, several picnic tables with a grill are located in an open grass area while a park bench offers a scenic view of the wetlands. Trail Clearing, plant identification and stakes, trail map, and site map are the result of volunteer opportunities.
