SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting Celebrates Boardwalk Reopening\, Fakahatchee Strand
DESCRIPTION:The full boardwalk system at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is officially reopening end-to-end for the first time in years. \nSaturday\, February 21\n10:00–11:30 AM\nFakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park \nThe ceremony is hosted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Recreation and Parks in partnership with Friends of Fakahatchee. \nThis reopening includes the newer boardwalk section that opened in February 2024 along with the reconstructed original boardwalk completed in November 2025. For the first time since hurricane damage disrupted access\, visitors can once again walk the entire system through the heart of the strand. \nFakahatchee protects one of the largest preserved cypress strand swamps in North America. This landscape supports: \n\nRare native orchids\, including the ghost orchid\nFlorida panther habitat\nBromeliads and air plants\nOld-growth bald cypress ecosystems\n\nThe elevated boardwalk makes this fragile habitat accessible while protecting sensitive wetlands beneath it. \nIf you’ve been waiting to walk it again — or have never experienced it end-to-end — this is the time.
