Come and enjoy a quiet walk on our 2/3 mile boardwalk leading through the wetlands to a covered pavilion on Lake Apopka.
The preserve is open from 8:00 AM until 6:00PM every day.

The mission of the Oakland Nature Preserve is to promote understanding of the fragile balances among land, water, mankind, and the environment by EDUCATING present and future generations about the natural ecosystems of the Lake Apopka Basin and by RESTORING and CONSERVING the lands within the Preserve.
