Surrounded by urban areas, Oscar Scherer is an unexpected oasis providing visitors with a refreshing escape into the real natural Florida. Just minutes from Sarasota, Florida, Oscar Scherer plays an invaluable role in the preservation of the Florida scrub-jay habitat. Bald eagles nest here in the winter, and in the summer, Lake Osprey attracts anglers and swimmers. South Creek is also a perfect place for enjoying the great outdoors, attracting anglers, canoers and kayakers. With 15 miles of trails, this park provides solitude, beauty, challenge and a healthy adventure for everyone. Oscar Scherer is also a popular stopover for bicyclists and walkers on the Legacy Trail, making this an important place for the surrounding community and a worthwhile stop for travelers.
