Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, Natural wetland preserve in Fort Myers, United States.
The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve spans 3,500 acres of wetland ecosystems with a 1.2-mile elevated boardwalk traversing through diverse habitats.
In 1976, a high school environmental group successfully gathered signatures for a referendum to protect the slough from urban development.
The preserve functions as an outdoor classroom where naturalists guide visitors through interpretive walks to understand wetland ecosystems.
The interpretive center opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, with parking fees of 1 dollar per hour up to 5 dollars daily.
The narrow wetland corridor filters water flowing toward Estero Bay while providing a protected passage for wildlife within Fort Myers city limits.
