Mosaic Peace River Park is a 460-acre property offering more than 7.5 miles of multi-use trails. Most people walk along a one-mile boardwalk that meanders through cypress floodplain forest down to the Peace River. Mosaic Peace River Park is well known for its diversity of bird species including limpkins, green-winged and blue-winged teal, hooded merganser, gray catbird, blue-headed vireo, American white pelican, eastern meadowlark, red-tailed hawk, northern harrier, sharp-shinned hawk and swallow-tailed kites. Join us as we hike 3-4 miles. Lunch to follow.
