点评:Great park for 3 mile hiking routes or even longer bike rides. There’s over 60 miles of trails available. However, don’t expect much for car touring, Buena Vista on your way into the visitor center and Lakeside on the way to Osprey Overlook (new boardwalk) and Gator Pond are the only places your car can go. Don’t miss Gator Pond. It’s just a short walk for a lot of wildlife.
There is NO tram nor vehicle access to Bayside/Steve Thompson Wildlife Loop. It is a great bicycle ride though. Besides Steve Thompson and Gator Pond, I recommend Island Fields. 2 miles out and 2 miles back. Do as much or as little as you want. There are many ponds along the way that contain wildlife when the other ponds throughout the park are receding.
The visitor center staff is very knowledgeable about where to go and what to see. And they have resource books if you need to confirm a new “life bird.” They feed birds twice a day at 4 feeding stations around the visitor center. They just built a new bird blind.
They do not have a store so bring your hat and water bottle. They have the cleanest restrooms of any wildlife refuge. You may pay your entrance fee in the visitor center, cash preferred. You don’t have to do it ahead of time.
翻译:这里是绝佳的徒步公园,适合进行3英里(约4.8公里)的远足,甚至更长的骑行。公园内有超过60英里(约97公里)的步道。不过,自驾游览不太方便,只有前往游客中心的布埃纳维斯塔(Buena Vista)和前往鱼鹰观景台(Osprey Overlook,新建木栈道)及鳄鱼池(Gator Pond)的湖畔(Lakeside)是车辆可以到达的地方。千万不要错过鳄鱼池,只需步行一小段路程就能看到许多野生动物。
海湾/史蒂夫·汤普森野生动物环线(Bayside/Steve Thompson Wildlife Loop)没有电车或车辆通行,但非常适合骑自行车。除了史蒂夫·汤普森野生动物环线和鳄鱼池,我还推荐岛屿田野(Island Fields),往返共2英里(约3.2公里)。您可以根据自己的意愿选择骑行距离。当公园内其他池塘水位下降时,沿途的许多池塘里仍然栖息着野生动物。
游客中心的工作人员对公园的景点和观赏鸟类非常了解,如果您需要确认新发现的鸟类,他们还提供相关资料。游客中心周围的四个喂鸟站每天喂鸟两次。他们刚建了一个新的观鸟屋。
这里没有商店,所以记得带上帽子和水壶。这里的洗手间是所有野生动物保护区里最干净的。您可以在游客中心支付门票,最好用现金。无需提前支付。
