Park Information

Lake Indrio Preserve encompasses roughly seven acres and connects to a larger complex of preserves totaling more than 250 acres called “Harbor Branch Preserve” that consists of this site, the 13-acre “Lakela’s Mint Preserve” between U.S. 1 and Old Dixie Highway and the remaining 230 acres east of Old Dixie Highway that extends to the Indian River Lagoon. Lake Indrio also connects to the 297-acre Indrio Savannahs Preserve to the south.  This site is open during daylight hours.  

Lake Indrio Preserve boasts gorgeous, newly built amenities for picnicking, fishing, kayaking and outdoor leisure. The entrance leads to a pavilion and a pedestrian boardwalk connecting to an upland island that beckons visitors to explore. Visitors can fish (catch and release) from the old sand mind lake from the 16 x 20-foot observation deck and fishing pier.

This property was purchased through a multi-agency acquisition partnership between the Florida Division of State Lands, Florida Communities Trust and St. Lucie County’s voter-approved environmentally significant lands bond.
