Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park, State park in Charlotte Harbor, United States.
Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park is a protected area surrounding a large bay on Florida's west coast, made up of several separate land parcels. The park connects different ecosystems including mangrove forests, salt marshes, and pine flatwoods.
The park was created through cooperation between local and state authorities to protect the bay system from environmental pressures. This protection effort preserved a complex habitat zone.
The Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center organizes educational programs and guided hikes from November to April for environmental learning opportunities.
The park is largely undeveloped with few facilities like drinking water or restrooms at most locations. Visitors should bring their own water and basic navigation aids.
The property consists of multiple non-adjoining land parcels surrounding the bay rather than forming one continuous area. This mosaic design protects natural habitats across the water system.
