A board walk through thick mangos, goes out to the water with two piers you can fish off of our just view the causeway and water. Didn't see any wildlife. There is a building called the visitor center that has 2 flush toilets. There are a few statues and memorials to previous wars. Around the corner - down the road is the Kayak rental area is on a channel. The board walk is about 1-2 miles long. I won't be going here again, I was hoping there would be birds here. We saw none.

The Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, at 365 acres, is the second-largest preserved green space in Cape Coral. It is located just north of Veteran's Parkway. It does not have access directly off the Veterans Memorial Parkway. You can get to it by driving to Del Prado and then backtracking to the Memorials. There seems to be a fair amount of parking along the entrance road. The Four Mile Cove / “Eco Park” is a brackish water wetland area with a walking trail, visitor center, and Veterans Memorial Area. On the south side of the parking lot is the Veterans Memorial Area, which includes several memorials designed to recognize and honor those who have served our country through the U.S. armed services. Visitors can walk through the preserve on a nice boardwalk. The trails lead to a fishing pier and another place onto the river. Their website states, “ This is a nature preserve; therefore, dogs are prohibited on the trails, jogging, skateboarding, biking, skating, or rollerblading. The walking trails and access to the Veterans Memorial Area are available year-round.” Overall, it is a very nice place to enjoy the local greenery along a pleasant covered boardwalk trail through the wetlands.

Nice nice walk! It’s not a long walk 1 .5 - 2 miles. The first half is mostly shaded and the path is wooden. It takes you out to a big dock with great scenery. The continuing path has more sun, so in the heat, go back the way you came. We started on the left side of the parking lot. In the same lot are the military memorials. A replica of Iwa Jima, pow memorial, each branch of the military memorial, and others. For me it was an added bonus.

Nice walking trail, but did not see much for wildlife (one raccoon and a few birds flying overhead). The Veteran’s Memorial area was beautiful. I recommend going to the visitor center first, we entered the walking path at the end and felt a little lost.
