Long Creek Nature Preserve

Long Creek Nature Preserve is the newest jewel in the City of Palm Coast's park system. Located at 1050 Palm Harbor Parkway, the nine-acre preserve provides fishing and kayak/canoe access to both Long Creek and College Waterway, and a tranquil area for walking and enjoying the outdoors. The property is a major archeological resource, the Hernandez Landing Site, related to the early1800s Plantation Period in Florida. The first phase of the Long Creek project includes a path and boardwalk to kayak/canoe launches, a fishing pier and floating dock, and a parking area. The preserve is connected to the 225-acre Long Creek Basin and Palm Coast's saltwater canal system. Its natural beauty serves as a living laboratory for environmental education programs, including for the Children Helping in Resource Protection - or CHIRP - program, offered by the City for Flagler schoolchildren.
