An Enchanted Place – Boyd Hill Nature Preserve

Abstract

Just a few miles south of downtown St. Petersburg, one of west-central Florida’s booming coastal cities, is a relatively unknown city park called Boyd Hill Nature Preserve.  Consisting of 245 acres along the shore of Lake Maggiore and close to the southern tip of Pinellas County -- where the currents of Tampa Bay run under the Sunshine Skyway and out to the Gulf of Mexico -- this park is, indeed, an enchanted place.
