Details:
Nestled on the northeast edge of Lake Hancock, across the lake from Circle B Bar Reserve, lies Marshall Hampton Reserve. The Reserve has an interesting blend of oak hammock areas canopying over mesic flatwoods, hardwood forest wetlands and a 60-acre pond. The site, just more than 1,100 acres, is mostly dominated by live oaks, slash pine, sweet gum and palmettos. Two loop trails provide very different views of the property.
The site is open for horseback riding with a special use permit. To obtain a permit, call (863) 534-7377.

The Marshall Hampton Reserve was acquired by the Southwest Florida Water Management District in 2008. Polk County entered into an agreement with the Water Management District in 2010 to oversee the management of the property. The acquisition of this property also protected a significant amount of shoreline and floodplain swamp on the edge of Lake Hancock. Lake Hancock is often referred to as the headwaters of the Peace River.
