Description and Activities:
Babcock Wilderness Adventures, Inc. is operated
on the massive 90,000 acre Crescent B Ranch in Lee
and Charlotte counties and offers exactly what we
imply -
A Wilderness/Ranch/Adventure.
If you wish to experience
the thrill of meeting panthers, bison, birds, and
dozens of wild alligators face to face, then this
tour is a must. Perhaps you may be lucky to catch
a glimpse of a white tailed deer or some of the
many wild turkeys along the tour route. Specially
built swamp buggies carry you through unspoiled
pinewoods, fresh water marsh, and sections of the
Telegraph Cypress Swamp. A professional tour guide
completes the experience with commentaries on the
wildlife, ranch activities such as cattle and horses,
and history of the area. You can bring a picnic
or enjoy a lunch of gator bites, hamburgers, hot
dogs, and other luncheon items in our Gator Shack
Restaurant.
Attractions Summary:
