About Moccasin Lake Nature Park

Moccasin Lake Nature Park is a 54-acre preserve in Clearwater, Florida. Walkers can follow trails and boardwalks beneath mature oak trees and past ponds and creeks where gopher tortoises, raccoons, and many bird species live. The park also cares for several injured birds of prey. A nature center explains the animals and habitats found on the grounds, and the park runs classes, camps, and programs. Indoor and outdoor spaces can be rented for meetings and receptions. Pets other than guide or service dogs are not allowed, and fishing is prohibited.
