The initial portion of the state preserve was acquired in 1995 by SFWMD to protect the water quality of Tampa Bay.[1] In 1998, a joint acquisition between SWFMD and the Board of Trustees for the Internal Improvement Trust Fund was done to purchase an additional 1,400 acres (5.7 km2).
Park activities include hiking trails, canoe/kayak launches, a boat ramp, and a plan for interpretive kiosks in the future. Kayaking is the primary activity within the preserve. Park admission is free.[2]
