This 22 acre natural area is located along Hancock Creek in North Fort Myers.  The preserve features a mix of forested uplands and freshwater, forested/shrub wetlands, offering visitors a peaceful setting to explore native habitats. 

Two marked hiking trails wind through the preserve:

• Creekside Loop Trail (0.45 miles)
• Sand Pine Loop Trail (1.12 miles)

Along the Creekside Loop Trail, visitors will find two resting benches with scenic views of Hancock Creek, as well as a kayak landing that provides water access.

Parking is available at Judd Community Park, which is within a short walking distance of the preserve's trailhead. The trailhead entrance is located at the intersection of Evergreen Road and Herron Road.

In summer 2025, an extensive invasive exotic plant removal project was completed to eliminate dense infestations of non-native species. Ongoing maintenance ensures continued control of invasive plants and supports the health of native ecosystems.
