With the dry conditions, the surrounding land was covered by a grey crust, cracked and rippled as the water depositied it, then evaporated several months ago. There were a few wildflowers blooming (most non-native) including some morning glories, thistles, and queen anne's lace - and a few we couldn't identify. Overall, this made for a very good outing.
Notes:
- National park entrance fee at the Gate ($10/vehicle)
- Bikes can be rented at the entrance; baskets are also available to carry water, cameras, etc.
- Bring bottled water or other drinks
- Restroom available at the tower
- In dry season, alligators can be on or adjacent to the bike path - stay close to small children
- Don't leave anything "interesting" out in the open or unattended. Large blackbirds or turkey vultures may take an interest.
- Bring plenty of sunscreen; bugspray may be needed near the tower
- Helmets required for age 16 & under
