"The
Hal Scott Regional Reserve and Park is located in east Orange County,
southeast of the city of Orlando, within the northwest quadrant of the
intersection of the Bee Line Expressway (S.R. 528) and Dallas Blvd. The
property is owned and managed by the St. Johns River Water Management
District (SJRWMD). Portions of the property were purchased using funds
obtained as part of the mitigation for the beltway construction in the
southern part of the county. The Econlockhatchee River flows through
the center of this property. Several streams tributary to the
Econlockhatchee River also occur on the property. The reference site is
a wet wiregrass slough/prairie located in the eastern portion of the
preserve, west of a large borrow pit."
-- From an accurate if rather unromantic description
by the folks at SJRWMD.
