Split Rock Conservation Area

Near the sinkhole where the Hogtown Creek disappears into the Floridan aquifer, Split Rock Conservation Area protects over 200 acres of forest and wetlands. You are invited to come and explore the many trails in this rich, natural landscape. Observe diverse calcareous hammocks with limestone outcrops, scattered sinkholes, and majestic oak and hickory trees. The Split Rock Conservation Area also contains portions of the Hogtown Prairie, a vast wetland marsh that is seasonally flooded by Hogtown Creek. Keep an eye out for the many feathered and furry inhabitants of this lush, earthy environment.

The park entrance is located just north of the Portofino neighborhood on SW 20th Avenue.  No parking is available. Bicycle and pedestrian access only. No motorized vehicles (including dirt bikes, scooters, or any other off-road vehicles) are permitted in this, or any, City Nature Park.
