| IMC-Agrico Peace River Park is a 400 acre riverside
preserve located on the Peace River six miles south of Bartow on SR 17
east of the Homeland flashing traffic light. There are picnic facilities,
bathrooms, and a one mile boardwalk into the Peace River swamp. Look for
wintering sparrows in the fields and during migration seasons, check for
warblers. Short-tailed Hawks may nest here. This is a year-round site
but the Fall season (August-Oct) is best. For best results, walk the edge
trail north along the tree line. There is no entrance fee. |
