P ark is the last remaining large tract of environmentally undisturbed land on Lemon Bay.
This sensitive parcel of land contains samples of most Southwest Florida coastal ecological systems. For this reason, the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners purchased the land in 1989. Because the management and operation of a specialized facility like Cedar Point Park is unique and requires a special understanding of the physical characteristics of the site, as well as the educational opportunities it affords, the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center was contracted by Charlotte County to develop and manage the parcel in December of 1993. P ark is perhaps best known for being home to bald eagles, which have built two nests on the 88-acre site. While the eagles and their young are a protected species in Florida, the resident eagles and their nests can be viewed from a safe and legal distance through pre-set viewing tubes along the Tortoise Trail.
