Lake Talaquega

The Sanctuary has preserved 75 acres on Lake Talaquega.[1] The property contains a colonial house dating from 1759, which now serves as a nature center containing "[n]ative turtle species, invertebrates, and other exhibits."[2] The land was formerly home to a casino and hotel. The Sanctuary has "wooded trails and boardwalk winding through a red maple swamp, upland forest, and freshwater marsh, and around the lake’s perimeter."[2]
