Families embark on an evening guided holiday forest walk along the preserve's crushed-gravel trails, surrounded by pine flatwoods and illuminated by soft solar lanterns. Park rangers share stories of Florida winter wildlife and 19th-century frontier holidays. After the walk, children can gather around a blazing community campfire to roast marshmallows, make classic s'mores, sip warm spiced cider, and sing seasonal campfire songs beneath the starry Florida night sky.
