The Oakland Nature Preserve is pleased to announce that it is once again Firefly season in Central Florida! Though the preserve is usually closed at sunset, we will be open on select dates until 9pm to allow visitors to explore the boardwalk and look for fireflies. We will have a staff member at the start of the boardwalk to answer any questions you may have.
Please park in the grass overflow lot outside of the gate. Handicap parking spaces will remain accessible in our regular lot.
This event is free of charge, but donations are very appreciated and are put towards our mission – Educate, Conserve, Restore.
Event will be canceled in the case of inclement weather, please check our website and Facebook page for updates the day of.

Clermont Waterfront parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5K held every Saturday at 7:30 AM at Lake Hiawatha Preserve (450 N. Lake Minneola Shores, Clermont, FL 34711). The course follows paved paths along the scenic shores of Lake Minneola and is open to everyone — walkers, joggers, runners, kids, and dogs on leads are all welcome.
parkrun is a worldwide movement of free community events organized entirely by volunteers. There is no cost to participate, ever. First-timers simply register once at parkrun.us to receive a free barcode for timing.
After each event, participants gather for coffee at Cheeser’s Palace café. Whether you’re looking for a new fitness routine, a way to meet neighbors, or a family-friendly Saturday morning activity, parkrun has a place for you.
Volunteers are always needed and no running is required to help. Visit www.parkrun.us/clermontwaterfront for more information.
