These preserves are exceedingly rich in wildlife. More than 140 species of migratory and nesting birds have been sighted, along with a variety of other creatures.

On the south end, the Lobster Cove Preserve connects to the Appalachee Preserve via the Indian trail. Appalachee is a 25-acre property on the shore of Appalachee Pond. Appalachee has a moderate 1-mile loop trail; it has no parking access and is “hike-in” only from the Lobster Cove Trail.
