Please excuse our temporary boardwalk and trail closure while the boardwalk gets some much needed repairs. The boardwalk loop around the Textile Mill remains open. The full boardwalk will reopen soon!

Slithering into the weekend at Arcadia! Remember to stay on boardwalks and marked trails so as to not disturb wildlife like this Florida Cottonmouth swimming through Elliot's Flume.
