About this Event

Join us to walk and learn!

An educational guided nature walk will be led by Dr. Megan Moore, the UF/IFAS Extension Florida Sea Grant Agent for Pasco County. You will learn about mangrove identification, coastal plants, oysters, and the ecosystem benefits these systems provide. We are teaming up with the UF/IFAS Extension Family and Consumer Sciences agent to support the Let's Walk Floirda Program! You are welcome to join us just for a fun educational day or to join the Lets Walk Floirda Group!

Let's Walk, Florida! Is a six-week walking program designed to encourage a physically active lifestyle. Walk anywhere on your own time, but also join the optional structured group walks to not just earn activity minutes, but to learn about our ecosystems. Join the group here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-walk-florida-pasco-tickets-1595865609999?aff=oddtdtcreator

We will provide a headset listening device so you can hear the tour easily during the walk! This walk will include boardwalks and dirt paths with around 1.5 miles of total walking. The first half of the tour is on the boardwalk and is much shorter if you want to join and only attend part of the tour! Bring hats, water, and walking shoes.

Note for the State Park there is an additional parking fee:

$2 for bicycle or pedestrian

or$4 for vehicle (up to eight people)


Meet us near the observation deck.
