At 365 acres, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is the second largest preserved green space in Cape Coral*. Four Mile Cove / “Eco Park” is a brackish water wetland area located just north of Veteran’s Parkway, featuring a walking trail, visitor center and seasonal native plant & kayak rental operation. There is an 800’ portage along the kayak trail, therefore it is not for beginners and children under 6 are not permitted in the kayaks. However, visitors of any age can walk through the preserve on the boardwalk. Possible wildlife sightings include eagles, ibis, herons, other wading & migratory birds, raccoons, snakes, etc. Be sure to stop at the visitor’s center for information on programs, local wildlife, trail guides and the “last chance to use the facilities”.

As the city was being developed, the state stepped in and mandated this area {known locally as Four Mile Cove} be preserved. Now, the property is leased from the state to the city to operate as a preserve. The trail system was funded by grants & as a condition of these grants, the city must manage the park to benefit the wildlife; so human intrusion is kept to a minimum. This is a nature preserve: dogs are not permitted on the trails and neither is jogging, skateboarding, biking, skating or rollerblading. The walking trails are available year-round, but the kayak shack is a seasonal operation.
