Otter Mound Preserve Walking Trail

Approximately 2.45-acres in size, the Otter Mound Preserve is in southwestern Collier County in a residential neighborhood on Marco Island. The entire preserve sits on a Calusa shell mound that contains artifacts of both archeological and historic significance. A three space parking area and a 700 foot mulched trail allows visitors to access the property. Three large interpretive signs provide the history of the property and shady trails lead visitors through the native hardwood hammock at the preserve. A 1,700-foot hand constructed whelk shell wall and outhouse are historic features. This property is small but worth a visit.
