I always wave and take pictures of Fred as he lives between Mile marker 41 and 42 on the old 7-mile bridge. No one knows how Fred got there or how he survives. He is a true beacon of strength and durability. I feel if Fred can survive everything mother nature throws at him in life so can I. A true hero for sure. Make sure you wave and take pictures as you are going by. I give Fred 5 out of 5 stars for his survival through tough times. Follow Me For More Reviews and Fun. Gulf Coast Terry

The trails were peaceful and easy to walk with toddlers, and the main lookout point was definitely the highlight. The views alone made the stop worthwhile. The museum had some informative displays about local history and the environment, which was a nice addition even though our kids were more focused on walking the paths. Since we arrived later in the afternoon, we didn't get to explore everything, so I'd recommend visiting earlier in the day if you can. Still, it was a pleasant, low-key outing and a solid stop if you're in the Marathon area.

Once you pay for time slot you get on trolley ( or you can walk, bike the bridge and just pay entrance fee when you get there). It's a 15 min ride onto the island from bridge. Our drivers name was Julie.. she told us about island and what to expect when we get there.. if you come by trolley you are confined to time slot to get the trolley back I think it's 2 hrs.. we had time to snorkel by dock and go gift shop and walk around the multiple buildings and get the history. They have restrooms where you can change clothes which we did. Also water fountains to fill your water bottle because it's hot in summer you need to hydrate! CT was our greeter to island she gave us choice to do guided tour or self guided.. we self guided because we wanted to snorkel.. they do not furnish snorkel equipment you must bring in bag to island so keep that in mind but you can just swim if you want. The water was very refreshing! Toward end of our stay here CT was nice enough to allow us to get cut fish pieces and feed the fish including a nurse shark.. we enjoyed this place wished we had taken an e-bike and stayed awhile because it's very peaceful and could have spent more time snorkeling.. we will next time!
