Thanks for highlighting. The Timucuan Preserve and associated lands are a real gem. This and October/November are great times of the year to explore them. So vast that you have to make multiple visits and see it in smaller chunks.
Does the National Park Service have a formal visitors center on the north side of the river? I note the tour... how is that scheduled?
By the way, not mentioned in the article, but I have also seen equestrians on the horse trails provided in some parts.
