Come visit the Snake Wall
Just up this path a short distance is our 'Snake Wall', which overlooks the beautiful Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. The wall is 325 feet long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail and is 13 feet tall at it's highest point. Notice the multicolored bricks on the patio, the 'bunny bulge' at the midway viewpoint, and the diagonally-shaped head, complete with eyes (lights) and a forked tongue, all to resemble a Florida Queen Snake.
