Trailer Travels: #52 - Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake Campground

This is a City of Orlando park. It's surrounded by residential and
commercial areas, but once you are in the Park, other than some traffic

noise from the nearby Florida Turnpike (which soon becomes white noise),

you would never know it. It is a large park with a very nice paved biking/walking path, WITH HILLS, something unusual in flat Florida.

Turkey Lake Scenes

A beautiful lake, but...

I wouldn't go swimming in it.

A Monarch Butterfly on pretty purple Pickerel

An Osprey, flying over the lake, with
some nest building material.

A pair of Mallard Ducks performing
some synchronized swimming :-)

They have a Children's Farm with many

farm animals for children (and adults) to enjoy.

Life is good.

They have a new nature trail at the Park called Nature Connect.

This is the trail's entrance.

Lantana flowers along the trail.

They built musical instruments to play along the Nature Connect trail.

What a fun and unique idea!

Nature Connect trail later that day.

There are many Gopher Tortoise dens throughout the Park. They have

them roped off so people will not disturb them; as per the sign, they are

an endangered species. We saw this one below while on a bike ride.

It was munching on some tiny yellow flowers.

I love this water fountain along the biking/walking path.

It has one fountain for dogs and one for people. Too cool!

The Easter Bunny visited the Park on Sunday. Cute!

Michael went fishing, but had no luck. That's
why it's called fishing and not catching :).
