The park is famous for the diversity of species including the American alligator. The park includes 37 miles of trails for walking and biking. Fish off of one of the several fishing piers or camp overnight at one of the numerous campsites available. The park is naturally a bird watchers' paradise with over 300 documented species which are regularly seen throughout the year. There is also a nature center with exhibits that interpret the ecosystems in the park. The George Observatory offers a unique opportunity to explore the universe through high-powered telescopes.
