Review & FAQ:
Tiger Creek Preserve is located on the eastern corner of the Lake Wales Ridge, one of Florida’s famous “ancient islands.” The Ridge is Florida’s oldest and highest landmass, separated from the mainland long time ago by a shallow sea. This separation caused the preserve to have one of the biggest concentrations of endangered and threatened species of plants and animals in the country, some endemic to the area. The preserve contains hardwood swamps, scrubby flatwoods, hammocks, pine flatwoods, longleaf pine, wiregrass and sandhill habitat. Tiger Creek Preserve is a crucial link in a network of preserves that protect what is left of the Lakes Wales Ridge ecosystem, a national hotspot of biological diversity and the oldest physical feature of peninsular Florida.
