Have you visited Otter Mound Preserve?

This preserve is a tropical hardwood hammock that contains the remnants of a Calusa shell midden formed from large lightening whelk shells and other refuse. The shell terrace walls visible near the road were repurposed in the mid-1900s from shells harvested by the Calusa Indians or their ancestors.
