The Ridiculous Otter Opinion: This is a good area to see what Merritt Island was like before its development. I enjoy the trails here and often see different types of wildlife. There is also plenty to do here, and visitors can even hike to Sam’s House from here. I’ve personally seen otters, a variety of birds, and boar here.
