Jan. 29, 2016---continued again---Wakodahatchee Wetlands:

We drove about 3 or 4 miles from Green Cay to Wakodahatchee Wetlands where there was a  policeman or security guard directing traffic  for parking.  He sent us up one way and everyone behind us another way where they all got parked and into the wetlands while still waited for a parking spot.  At least we were close to the start of the boardwalk when someone finally moved.  

These man made wetlands were designed to recycle highly-treated wastewater from the county’s Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility. It also provides approximately 50 acres of freshwater marsh habitat for wetland species. A 3/4 mile elevated boardwalk weaves it's way through the wetlands.
