As with the nearby Crystal Lake Natural Area, this irregularly shaped 28.5-acre site is another example of the rare and fragile scrub community. Considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, plant communities in Florida, they were formed almost 10,000 years ago. The relatively high elevation and good drainage, favorable for urban development, has contributed to the loss of scrub habitats throughout the state. Some of the dominant plant species here are the sand pine, saw palmetto, several species of oaks, prickly pear cactus, and gopher apple.
Current access is limited to organized group nature walks.
