This is a local restaurant located directly on the river. I recommend sitting outside down at the tiki bar for awesome views of the Indian River. Grab a beer or one of their 2.50 margaritas (I don't recommend the food here).

Fabulous place to see birds and alligators and don't be surprised if you see wild pigs, raccoons, armadillo's, opossum or even a bobcat. There are multiple drives to take and some walking/hiking trails as well. I recommend visiting the Vistor Information Center for a map of the areas that are open. To reach the Visitor Information Center, continue 4 miles past the Refuge entrance (remain to your right at the fork in the road) and the Visitor Center entrance sign will be on your right. There they will have bathrooms, giftshop and a short nature walk available as well. Want a guide? I'm pretty good at 'gator spotting!' I can fit three people into my car. $40/donation

If you want to try gator tail or frog legs and view the St Johns River, you may catch a glimpse of an alligator or two swimming in the river. If you want an even better view of what you can see in the St Johns, take an airboat ride! Lone Cabbage offers airboat rides of half hour and an hour. If you want a private ride, we do know an airboat captain and can book you in with him if he isn't working.
