Nice trails to walk. Can see alligators.

I would like to see them repair all of the boardwalks and the bridges and also reopen the restaurant. I think they could make the rapids viewing area better. And it would be great for them to thin out the underbrush along the river boardwalk and trail that obscures the view of the river.

I spent the morning walking a few trails with my dog. The trails are easy and well marked. I did notice the common areas needed some maintenance, caution tape was wrapped around tables that needed repair. But I'll be going back.
