Merritt Island wildlife hike.  Black Point Wildlife Drive - always full of surprises!  A wonderful 9 mile loop through the protected wetlands of Florida.  Located on the Space Coast - birds of all types migrate to here for the winter.  Photos are from several different hikes, the most recent being Jan. 2009.

This is a great place to hike on flat ground under beautiful southern tree canopies.  A boardwalk out into the marsh makes for great bird and small animal watching.  Plenty of alligators line the shorelines. There are also rental cabins and campgrounds.  You can take a boat ride down the river...
