Oscar Scherer State Park, Nature reserve in Sarasota County, United States.
Oscar Scherer State Park spans 1,400 acres of pine forests, wetlands, and scrub areas across Florida's Gulf Coast natural landscape.
The establishment of this state park in 1956 marked a commitment to preserving Florida's natural habitats and supporting endangered species conservation.
The Nature Center presents exhibits about local ecosystems and conducts educational programs focusing on Florida's environmental heritage throughout the year.
The park maintains 104 campsites with electrical hookups, 15 miles of trails, and facilities for swimming, fishing, and canoeing in Lake Osprey.
The protected scrubby flatwoods within the park serve as a primary habitat for the Florida scrub-jay, a bird species found only in this state.
