The preserve boasts a fascinating mix of ecosystems, including southernmost reaches of Appalachian hardwood forests, vibrant pine flatwoods, and even a small waterfall. This variety makes for a truly unique hiking experience. One of the most remarkable features of Mill Creek is the presence of American Beech trees. These magnificent trees reach their southernmost extent here in Florida, making the preserve a haven for those interested in unusual plant communities.
