Herons Nest

Herons Nest is a lovely park in Lakewood Ranch. 

Heron's Nest Nature Park Loop shown in red below is a 0.9 mile loop trail 3.7 miles north of Waterfront on Main Street. It offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for walking, trail running, birding, and road biking and is best used from October until April. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

You can easily turn this into a 3 or 4 mile walk by taking all the other trails. Much of the trail is wooded and shaded. 

There is a very nice dog park, a large park, with playground equipment, pavillion, washroom, basketball, etc.
