River Breeze Park

River Breeze Park is one of Volusia County's many gifts to visitors to East Central Florida and to its own citizens. It is an idyllic spot which lingers in one's memory -- a delight to the birder.

The park contains and protects an established orange grove. It offers an elegant wooden pier which stretches over a shallow area of Mosquito Lagoon. Here, up close on a sandbar, Marbled Godwits doze and preen and luxuriate in the sunshine, shoulder to shoulder with handsome Black Skimmers. In the brackish waters of the lagoon, the birder may spot a wintering American White Pelican or a Common Loon. Reddish Egrets and Red-breasted, Common and Hooded Mergansers visit this spot and you may see American Oystercatchers. Check the area for migrating warblers before you leave.

First rate facilities. No entry fee. For more information, call Volusia County Leisure Services at (386) 736-5953.
