Ft Myers has an extensive ring of wildlife parks and nature preserves. The Caloosahatchee Preserve has several miles of hiking and biking trails.
Some photos from a visit.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and am traveling around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I have visited. :)
