点评:I visited the Oakland Nature Preserve recently in my free time. It is a peaceful natural area off of Old Highway 50. It is along the shore of Lake Apopka as well.
There are some nice hiking trails through the wooded area. There is a good amount of wildlife. I saw several gopher tortoises while I was there. They are protected in Florida so be sure not to disturb them. I saw several species of birds as well. While I was hiking the trail I did hear a rattle snake rattle in the brush along the trail. I never saw the snake; I believe it was just warning me to keep my distance as I walked by. Do be aware this is a wild place and you need to be alert.
There is a nice educational center with displays and some aquariums with frogs and turtles. There are also restrooms by the educational center. The boardwalk that goes down toward the lake was closed. I am guessing it is because we have had a lot of rain from tropical storms and the lake level is very high.
It is a nice place to visit and I recommend it.
翻译:我最近在空闲时间参观了奥克兰自然保护区。这是 50 号旧公路旁一片宁静的自然区。它也位于阿波普卡湖岸边。
树林里有一些不错的徒步小径。野生动物很多。我在那里看到了几只地鼠龟。它们在佛罗里达州受到保护,所以一定不要打扰它们。我还看到了几种鸟。当我在小径上徒步旅行时,我确实听到了一条响尾蛇在小径旁的灌木丛中发出嘎嘎声。我从未见过那条蛇;我相信它只是在警告我走路时要保持距离。请注意,这是一个荒野,你需要保持警惕。
这里有一个不错的教育中心,里面有展览和一些有青蛙和乌龟的水族馆。教育中心旁边还有卫生间。通往湖边的木板路关闭了。我猜是因为我们遭遇了热带风暴带来的大量降雨,湖水水位很高。
这是一个值得参观的好地方,我推荐它。
