The 365 acre preserve is the second largest open green space in Cape Coral. It was created by the State of Florida when the city of Cape Coral was being developed. The preserve has a 1.2 mile boardwalk that starts off as coastal prairie, a rare habitat in this area that that is a great area for birding. You might encounter eagles, ibis, herons, wading and migratory birds, raccoons and snakes. The closest I came to wildlife was spotting some raccoon footprints on the boardwalk. As I walked along the boardwalk the brackish water of the red and black mangroves let out to the overlook over the Caloosahatchee River. In the distance you can see Thomas Edison's estate, one of the first settlements in the area. Heading back, the boardwalk ends letting you out on a shell path lined by sand live oak, gumbo limbo, and ficus trees before you return to the parking lot. Four Mile Cove also has a small visitors center with map and restrooms. On the south side of the parking lot is a Veterans memorial area with monuments dedicated to the branches of the armed forces. On weekends from November through May there is a kayak rental kiosk. There is also two fishing piers for anglers to try their luck in the Caloosahatchee River. I enjoyed my peaceful walk on the boardwalk. As I walked I pondered how glad I was that the state has the foresight to protect this ecologically significant area. At Four Mile Cove you can enjoy the real Florida like it was when Edison first arrived.

This section has a concrete sidewalk that follows along the river and to the south side of the park, several covered tables, restrooms and a very nice, new playground surrounded by a fence.

We brought our daughter down to Florida to see our son for Thanksgiving and stayed on one of Cape Coral's beautiful canals for the week. We surprised our kids by arranging to have some stand-up paddleboards and single person kayaks dropped off. After wading through the various options, the many positive reviews of Cape Coral Kayaks led us to call them. We are so happy we did. Wow, what service! The only day that our daughter had off from work while we were here was Thursday ~ Thanksgiving Day. We thought that might be tough to swing for any business, but Simone and Steve graciously dropped off the kayaks, paddleboards, paddles and lifejackets at sun-up and then picked them back up after sundown. The equipment was in brand new condition. We had a full day of paddling and exploring the canals. Next time we are down here, we are going to connect with them to try one of the self-guided tours through the mangroves. We are very much looking forward to that. The day of family paddling was one of the hi-lites of our week in Cape Coral and the perfect way to explore these beautiful canals. Thank you Simone and Steve for making this Thanksgiving one we will all remember forever. Now, back to the snow for three of us. :( With kindest regards. -BiLLy read more

Simone and her hubby were simply amazing! Their prices are fair and include equipment plus delivery. At drop off, they made sure we understood how to use the kayaks and checked out our dock space to give suggestions on getting in and out of the kayaks. Simone showed me a map of where we were located with tips on safe and fun areas to explore. We could not have asked for better service or equipment! read more

We checked in at the Ding Darling visitor center. The friendly attendant at the counter informed us the guide/driver is ready for us and to meet her at the tram. We were also given binoculars that were free to borrow with a credit card on hold (we would get charged if we lose them). We boarded the tram about 15 minutes before the tour. The whole tram was full, and every seat was taken, including the front seat in the truck pulling the tram. Kathy, our guide/driver introduced us to the tour and informed potential animals we would see. We were all informed to let her know if we see any potential animals so she can slow down the tram when needed. When we went to the park, we saw various animals including many types of birds, fishes, manatees, and even iguanas. The whole tour lasted about 90 minutes, with a small 10 break to walk and view the observation tower. Kathy did an excellent job explaining about the park, the types of plants and animals, and how the park was affected by the hurricane and other things. She also answered any questions that the guests had. She drove very safely, being cautious of the other vehicles and pedestrians at the park. We were also informed that we could walk around the park after the tour. However, we decided it was too hot to walk a couple miles and left after the tour. The visitor center looked to be undergoing renovations, but the gift shop was open. We bought a shirt that was on sale. The bathrooms were clean and even had information about the various animals we could see. We were also given a brochure as well before the tour. For the price paid, this was a great value. We did get to see various types of animals, plants, and birds. Our guide/driver was friendly, informative, and cautious. Even though the hurricane did some damage to the park, the repairs looked nice and great to see the various wildlife coming back to the park. This was a wonderful tour and a must do when visiting Sanibel Island.
