The property was jointly purchased in 2000 by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Polk County’s Environmental Lands Program. This parcel will play a key role in the preservation efforts of the Upper Peace River / Lake Hancock system. Banana Creek and Saddle Creek both flow through the property. Plans are underway for the restoration of the Banana Creek marsh system. Contact the Environmental Lands Program, (863) 534-7377, for group tour information.
