Caloosahatchee Creeks Preserve

Caloosahatchee Creeks Preserve (CCP) is located north central Lee County in North Fort Myers on the northern shoreline of the Caloosahatchee river. It is bisected by Interstate 75 creating CCP East and CCP West. The East and West sides opened to the public in May of 2008 and are both open 7 days a week all year long. On the eastern side, visitors can use the paved parking area, picnic pavilions, restroom, and the approximately 1.5 mile long boardwalk and trail system through wetland, hammock, and pine flatwood ecosystems.  Visitors to the western side of the preserve also have access to the paved parking area, restroom, picnic pavilion, and approximately 1/2 mile of boardwalk and trails. In addition, the west side offers a canoe and kayak launch into Popash Creek. Visitors who bring their own canoe or kayak can take a relaxing paddle down the creek which leads out into the Caloosahatchee River. A parking fee is required on the west side. Lee County Annual Parking Stickers are accepted at this location.
