Theodore Roosevelt Area

Inside Timucuan Ecological and Historical Area is the Theodore Roosevelt Area. This area is filled with natural elements of Florida. Both areas are a short drive from Jacksonville, Florida. Nature trails are one of the top reasons to visit the area given the thickly wooded region, along with native plants. There are also grasslands which are supported by local water sources. Lucky visitors will get to see wildlife including native bird species.

Along with the regular soil are areas of ancient oyster shells, which have turned into rock and soil over time. These formations help scientists date the area, as well as learn about ancient cultures. Theodore Roosevelt Area is a place for preservation designed from a donation from Willie Browne, the last property owner.

Theodore Roosevelt Area is open from 9am to 4:45pm on a daily basis. Guests of the natural area can bring their pets. However, any pet must be on a six foot leash at most. You should bring water, sunscreen, bug repellent, cell phone, and a map if you plan on hiking. There are trash receptacles onsite for your use. Nearby Theodore Roosevelt Area is Fort Caroline National Memorial and other state parks.
