If you’ve been in the Disney area, it’s very possible you’ve crossed over what could soon be a new ecotourism destination: Shingle Creek. The proposed Shingle Creek Recreation Preserve is the buzz in Osceola County, where $4M was spent to preserve property, an Orlando Sentinel article reports. Still, it could be years before the plans become reality: hiking trails, paddling, camping, an education center and more right in the midst of other busy tourism attractions. Not bad for a little body of water that’s part of the system of headwaters of the Everglades, huh?
