The walk up on top of the Portavant Temple Mound is steep, I could not get the whole view in one shot.
The mound is SW Florida's largest native American Temple Mound...the mound is 1200 years old.
Click Here for the Trail of Florida's Indian Heritage and more info on this mound.
Below I combined two first photos to show the scope of the mound. click on photo to enlarge.
Emerson Point is a state owned park and is a protected State Archaeological Site and NOTHING can be removed, that includes shells, rocks, moss etc...

It's so pretty there. I think I would have a hard time resisting grabbing some of the spanish moss off the trees
Your photos are amazing. I remember seeing the Spanish moss on the trees when my family would vacation in FL when I was a child.
Hello Sandra, I love those boardwalks and the beautiful trees with the spanish moss. Looks like a beautiful park for a walk. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!

What a beautiful park!! I'm going to check and see if we have any National Parks around here, most of ours are State or County parks.
Another place where I could spend hours. I love Spanish moss.
That looks like a wonderful boardwalk walk! And the trees are beautiful - and a little spooky! :-) I'm taking my walk out to the clothesline. Washing sheets again today to get beds ready for weekend company. Then I hope to spend time outdoors just enjoying our marvelous weather.
Those trees are so pretty with the moss hanging on them. I love all the pathways they built are lovely.
It looks beautiful!
This is a beautiful place and also a great place for photos,by the looks of it.
I would dearly love to visit this place!
Lovely pictures as always. I have never seen Spanish moss, it must be quite something to see.
Beautiful pictures! There are some native American mounds not far from my house and they look a lot like this, but on a smaller scale.
I don't know why but Spanish moss hanging from trees seems a little creepy to me!! My favorite photo tonight is the one of Bob!!! We used to go to a couple of State Parks here like Cedar Hill State Park which is only a half hour away!!
beautiful photos, Sandra! I'll definitely get to a park this week. :)
That must have been a great walk. I remember going to Florida and enjoying all that Spaish Moss hanging from the trees. Such a picturesque state.
beautiful.
