North Florida Land Trust opened Bogey Creek Preserve, their first public park, in May of 2019. Bogey Creek is a 75-acre scenic preserve consisting of a mix of maritime hammock forest, seep-fed cypress swamps and mixed pine-oak forest. The preserve neighbors Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park and the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve and protects nearly one mile of critical marsh front on Clapboard and Bogey Creeks. Click here for the Bogey Creek Preserve Trail Map.
