Covering more than 45,000 acres and 100 miles of shoreline, the Charlotte Harbor Preserve offers a wealth of recreational opportunities for nature lovers to explore. The park can be explored in a number of ways including on foot along the hiking trails or by canoe and kayak along the extensive waterways. All the hiking trails are also possible to explore by bike, unless otherwise stated. Fishing and boating is also allowed throughout the park and those seeking solitude will find large un-touched back-country wilderness areas to explore. There are a few canoe launching areas, restrooms and picnic tables, but no camping facilities.
