Cooter Pond Park in Inverness Florida
If you are looking for a scenic setting to enjoy a picnic lunch or just want to take a stroll and observe the natural surroundings, Cooter Pond Park is the place. The park, featuring a boardwalk, scenic overlooks and picnic areas, is within walking distance of government office buildings, the downtown historic district and 1912 Historic Courthouse.
While you are there, keep an eye out for the namesake cooter turtle, lurking among the reeds, and possibly some alligators that range in size from 4 to 7 feet long. There are numerous fish in the pond, including small bass and bluegill and you're almost guaranteed to see any one of several species of birds, including storks, egrets and herons.
There's benches and a pavilion for a picnic lunch, a canoe launch, with parking is located just off Mill Street, and signage along the boardwalk introduces you to birds and water creatures common to the area.
