This is a photograph of the boardwalk over the mangroves at Weedon Island Preserve in Pinellas County Florida. In the distance you can just barely see the power plant. 
Boardwalks and Nature Trails There are a total of 4.54 miles of hiking trails that meander through representative habitats at the Preserve. Of these, 1.82 miles are handicap accessible - made up of wooden boardwalks or pavement. The boardwalks extend out through the tidal flats and mangrove forests and provide viewing opportunities over saltwater ponds that are often teaming with mullet and wading birds. The paved and unimproved trails extend through the Preserve's upland communities - pine flatwoods, maritime hammock, and scrub. From the trails, a 45' observation tower can be accessed. On a clear day, this tower provides the visitor with an excellent view of the Preserve as well as Tampa Bay , the City of Tampa , and St. Petersburg . Picnicking
There are four small picnic areas in the preserve. Each has its own interesting
view and a picnic table.
