Welcome To Our Preserve Welcome to our all new interactive website for 2009!
Great things are happening here at ONP and we hope you plan a visit to our beautiful 128 acre preserve and make use of our 2/3 mile boardwalk leading through natural wetlands to a covered pavilion on Lake Apopka. We also have numerous hiking trails leading through our oak and pine forests, habitat gardens and a gorgeous, sustainably built visitor center -complete with a microscope laboratory, live animals, a cultural/natural history museum and lecture hall. With numerous educational programs and lectures every month we hope to make you a regular here in Oakland.
Whether you are a school group of 40, an amateur bird watcher, a local church group or merely someone looking to escape into the beauty of Florida for a few hours everyday, we welcome you to our preserve and hope you continue to return again and again.
