Manatee County's newest baby - the Robinson Preserve - opened to the public July of 2008, offering over 400 acres of diverse marshlands, open water, and nature trails. There are 56 acres of marshland, 2 1/2 miles of kayaking and canoeing streams, 10 acres of uplands complete with 6 nature trails and as many bridges winding around the mangroves. The 500 foot boardwalk makes it a great location for bird watching, and the trails are great for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
Sponsored in part by the County Conservation Land Management, the preserve houses endangered species like the gopher tortoise, indigo snakes and the Florida Scrub Jay.
Boat launching is available at the nearby Emerson Point, and the Rye Preserve offers overnight camping facilities.
