Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Matanzas Pass Preserve is a beautiful 60-acre nature preserve on Estero Island, located a mile from the Matanzas Pass Bridge near the city of Fort Myers Beach. The preserve, which protects one of the region's final remaining maritime oak hammock habitats, was established in 1979 by the Nature Conservancy and donated to Lee County for public use in 1994. A wide variety of native Florida wildlife species call the preserve home, including significant native bird populations, which have earned the preserve a designation as part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. A paddle craft launch site also provides access to the Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail. 1.25 miles of hiking trails showcase mangrove canopies and provide access to a pavilion overlooking Estero Bay.
