Review & FAQ:

To experience natural Florida, try the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area (ORCA.) Here you can find great birding along the mangrove-edged waters of the Indian River Lagoon, where ferns and wild coffee grow to massive size.

Bromeliads dangle from the forest canopy, and trails seem to disappear into the thick undergrowth. In some seasons, ORCA offers weekly guided nature walks; the first Saturday of the month is a Coastal Wetland Walk (moderately difficult) and on other Saturdays Hammock Walks (moderately easy) are offered. Guided canoe excursions are also available.
