MAMMALS, TURTLES AND MORE!
A walking eco tour is a great way to view wildlife
Everyday is a new adventure. As you walk along a nature trail we may see raccoons, opossums, marsh hares, box turtles, or gopher tortoises. On occasion we see wildlife in the seagrass flats and passing dolphin or manatee.

WALKING ECO TOURS
Stump Pass Beach State Park is located on Manasota Key and extends for almost one and a half miles. This area is maintained by park rangers who ensure that only native vegetation is present in the state park. This is an extensive job and requires constant maintenance.
STUMP PASS BEACH STATE PARK
The boundaries of the state park extend into the water to the next two islands east of Manasota Key. This includes Peterson Island and Whidden Key. The bay is part of Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve. This marine estuary is one of the largest in the area and is connected to tidal creeks and the Gulf of Mexico.
