At 365 acres, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is the second-largest preserved green space in Cape Coral. Located just north of Veteran's Parkway, Four Mile Cove / "Eco Park" is a brackish water wetland area with a walking trail, visitor center, and Veterans Memorial Area. Visitors of any age can walk through the preserve on the boardwalk. Possible wildlife sightings include eagles, ibis, herons, other wading & migratory birds, raccoons, snakes, etc. Be sure to stop at the visitor's center for information on programs, local wildlife, trail guides, and the "last chance to use the facilities."
On the south side of the parking lot is the Veterans Memorial Area, which includes several memorials designed to recognize and honor those who have served our country through the U.S. armed services.
