Review:
Nestled in the heart of extensive urban sprawl, the Oscar Scherer State Park provides an essential bolt-hole for many threatened and endangered bird species and a green space where locals and visitors can get back to nature. Here, surrounded by housing estates and highways you will find over 15 miles of trails to explore on foot and over 10 miles of paved biking trails. At the heart of the park Lake Osprey attracts many birds and provides swimmers, kayakers, anglers and paddlers with an attractive playground. South Creek also offers excellent paddling and campers can enjoy fully serviced campsites for tents or RVs.
