Koreshan State Park in Estero, is a unique place, offering both history and nature. 
 
Founded in the late 1800’s as a religious colony, it is still going strong today. 
 
Visitors can explore 11 historic buildings that are located on the property. A Historic place to experience a lifestyle long gone, but through programs that are offered today, one can  experience hiking, kayaking, camping or fishing on the unique Estero River. Our visit will consist of a private tour, along many marvelous chances to photograph the wild life and flora and fauna around us. Those who can take a hike on the 1.5 trail winds thru a baboo forest planted by the Koreshan’s. A very cook walk...I mite add…
I have visited many times and have never had the same experience twice.
Always something new and interesting. Get up close and personal and enjoy nature with this true wilderness adventure.
 
Nothing better than fresh air, sunshine and being surrounded by like-minded explorers!
A picnic lunch will be provided by me, as well as water. Your entry fee and tour fee are also included. Be prepared with sunscreen, good walking shoes, and of course your camera and an extra battery. 
 
Come along with me on this amazing day trip! 
 
The trip is limited to 12 so sign up early. Carpooling can be arranged, or you can drive yourself and meet there...It’s up to you.
