It is nice to see the honor system still out there. Bring cash or you can write them a check. It is a nice place to stop and get a local souvieneer.

As we live in the area, we are frequent visitors to Bok Tower Gardens. The simple fact that we return often confirms our appreciation for the beauty and restorative power of this place. Many reviewers have highlighted the history of Bok’s masterwork and its connection, through the legendary Olmsted family, to Central Park. So, let me simply mention that the gardens are exquisite, the view from atop Iron Mountain inspiring, the carillon tower an architectural marvel and the park brilliantly managed. On-site are an informative historical exhibit, an above-average cafe—often featuring live music—a delightful gift shop, a plant shop featuring native plants and specimens of those in the gardens and a free shuttle for those with mobility challenges. Much of the expansive trail system within the gardens is shaded and the altitude affords a reliable breeze.

Tiger Creek Preserve

Reviewed By HTWelker - Kent City, United States

In 2017 I solo hiked in Tiger Creek Preserve that left an impression i have been wanting to share with my wife ever since. A trip to Babson Park was planned. We parked at the Pfundsteintein road parking lot, and picked up a trail map. The hike started by heading out to the Highlands loop, then to the bluff creeks loop, back to the Highlands loop, and walked the Heron pond loop on the way back. In total it ended up being 11.5 miles and a little over 4 hours. The area has grown up since I was here last, with less signs of the previous prescribed burn event. The trails are in better shape and more defined, with more blazes and trail posts along the routes. This is a sandy sunny hike up and down hills with lots of twists and turns on the Lake Wales Ridge, an ancient island. I didn't find the sand real deep or troublesome, but was happy I brought water. There are many different landscapes like open pine woods, scrubby flat woods, hardwood swamps, and forested wetlands. There are no restrooms but admission is free.
