The plaque, which is located on-site, reads: The H.P. Williams Park designated by 1965 Legislature of Florida
This small roadside rest area is named for Homer P. Williams, an engineer, who worked for Barron Collier during the construction of Tamiami Trail in the 1920s.
Designated in 1965, by the Florida Legislature, this park is believed to be the first of its kind in the state of Florida.

HP Williams Roadside Park at Big Cypress Preserve
Our favorite spot to stop for a picnic while driving down US 41. There is so much in this little corner and it takes absolutely no effort or sidetrip required as it sits right by the side of the road, just pull in! This time we got to see: egret, little blue heron, turtles, fish feeding, alligator, wood stork, anhinga, cormorants, a little green heron and of course ibis.

Janes Scenic Drive - Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park
Janes Scenic Drive takes you right through the center of Fakahatchee Strand. Things to do in Naples, FL. If you want to see a very natural surrounding, this is a place to visit. You are able to get among nature, and nature may get among you.
Winter time or December through April is a good time to go because it is drier and also the mosquitoes are not around much. In the summer there is much water and sometimes the water comes right up onto the trails so you are driving and walking through the water.
There are also many miles of trails that can be explored. I will be posting some of my trips in the future.
You can get to this area from Golden Gate Estates, or you can go out on US 41 near Everglades City and access it.

Monroe Station - Abandoned - Ruin - Ochopee
Monroe Station served as a way point for people using US 41 to cross the Big Cypress Swamp, Miami to Naples or the other way. Built in 1925, it was used as a way station until 1949. Motor cycle patrols would be sent out to look for wayward motorists. Later on, it was the only place you could get gas or something to eat when crossing Florida at the lower end of the state. During the early 70's, it was the only place to get gas, a cup of coffee, a repair or use a telephone in that area of the Big Cypress Swamp.

Beware the Black Vultures. They will eat the valve stems and trim off your vehicle. They don't do the paint finish any favors either.
