DESCRIPTION

Turkey Creek Sanctuary is surrounded by sand pines, saw palmettos and live oaks emerging from ancient sand dunes created 2,000 years ago.  A 4,000-foot boardwalk twists and turns along the murky, bass-filled black water creek-- a major stopover for spring and fall migratory birds including the pileated woodpecker and rare purple martin. Located in Palm Bay, Florida, Turkey Creek Sanctuary is a 100-acre park that also features a nature center and jogging paths. Admission is free, but no smoking in the park allowed.  Also no littering or feeding the wildlife.

<p>Turkey Creek is open from 7am till sunset or when posted. .</p>
