Join us on a visit to the Circle B Bar Reserve!
Circle B Bar Reserve, on the northwest shore of Lake Hancock, is a former cattle ranch that today boasts a wide variety of plants and animals. You can see several distinct ecosystems in this reserve of 1,267 acres. You're almost guaranteed to see alligators in Lake Hancock, often considered the headwaters of the Peace River, which flows more than 100 miles from Polk County southwest to the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy hiking, birdwatching, wildlife, and much more!
The event is free and free transportation from and to the recreation center will be provided.
