Need a short hike (1-4 miles)? This place is great because of the wildlife. It's great for birdwatching, but it's also known for the abundance of alligators. It's a good place to picnic or to take a stroll. Hours are sunup to sundown.

If you have your heart set on seeing gators, this is the place to go! There isn’t much shade and it can be very hot, so bring water! Free

The Circle B Bar Reserve is an area of protected lands in Polk County, Florida. Comprising 1,267 acres at 4399 Winter Lake Road near Lakeland, it is managed by the Polk County Board of County Commissioners, which co-owns it with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The park was purchased in 2000 for $7.4 million using funds provided by an environmental lands acquisition referendum approved by voters in 1994. Polk's Nature Discovery Center, completed in 2008, features interactive displays about the plants, animals, and ecosystems of the reserve. The center serves as the focus of environmental education programs and explorations for families, school groups, teachers, adults, and other visitors. Construction began in 2007, consisting of four buildings totalling 16,000 square feet at a cost of $6.4 million. Circle B Bar Reserve is named after the cattle ranch that once occupied the restored wetland site. It was purchased to help maintain the Banana Creek marsh area, home to an array of birds such as white ibis, roseate spoonbills, sandhill cranes and bald eagles, along with other wildlife like alligators, bobcats, snakes, gray squirrels, river otters, and wild hogs.
