Yikes! Sounds miserable.
Actually it a very interesting place.
Loads of wildlife especially birds come winter.
Huge Horned Owls,hawks and waterfoul, plenty of deer and wild boar.
Freeper Swampsniper(rip) shot all his film in the same type inviorment up around St Augustine
Its massive on both sides of I 75 and East goes out to Arcadia.
To make it sound like it all swamp is kinda off base as there are plenty of trail.
Do a Google Map Search of the Carlton Preserve.
