What to Know Before You Visit Oak Creek Preserve
Welcome to the wild side of Florida—where cows roam, creeks flow, and life slows down. Oak Creek Preserve is a working cattle ranch and nature-based wellness center. We invite you to breathe deep, reconnect, and experience the land as it is—raw, real, and wonderfully alive.
We are only open to the public during ticketed events, farm tours, and private retreats.
Please note:
We are closed during July – September to rest, recharge, and prepare the land for the next season.
⸻
Dress for the Land
Closed-toe shoes are required for all guests—this is essential for your safety while walking our uneven, natural terrain. No sandals or flip-flops.
We recommend comfortable outdoor clothing and a hat for sun protection.
Natural bug spray and sunscreen are always a good idea.
⸻
This is a Working Ranch
Expect the sights, sounds, and smells of real farm life! You may encounter:
Cattle and farm animals up close
Natural fertilizer and earthy aromas
Insects, birds, and the occasional curious critter
Our animals are part of the experience—but please do not enter pens, chase animals, or feed them unless guided by a staff member.
* Farm tours are by appointment or part of scheduled events. We want to keep both you and our animals safe and comfortable.
⸻
Water, Wildlife & Weather
Our creek, pond, and forested areas are beautiful but can be unpredictable. There are no lifeguards on duty.
Please supervise children at all times and stay on marked trails. The pool is not supervised—swim at your own risk. Children must be actively monitored.
Florida weather can change quickly. Bring water, stay hydrated, and take breaks in the shade when needed.
The land may be muddy, hot, or buggy—especially in summer. That’s part of the adventure.
⸻
Yoga & Wellness Activities
Yoga, meditation, sound healing, and other group offerings may take place outdoors or in our covered studio.
* Please bring a yoga mat and towel if attending a wellness event. A water bottle and light snacks are encouraged.
* Yoga is practiced barefoot or in socks. Shoes may be left just outside the studio.
* If you have injuries or mobility concerns, please inform the instructor prior to class.
⸻
Safety First
You enter at your own risk. Oak Creek Preserve is not responsible for accidents, injuries, or lost items.
We do our best to minimize hazards, but this is wild land with natural and agricultural risks.
* For your safety and the safety of our animals, children must remain under adult supervision at all times.
All guests will be asked to sign a liability waiver upon arrival or during booking.
⸻
Respect the Space
Please treat the animals, the land, and other guests with kindness and care.
This is a place for healing, connection, and freedom. Help us keep it sacred and safe for all.
⸻
Quick Reminders
No smoking, vaping, or open flames outside of designated areas. Absolutely no flames during a burn ban.
To keep our animals and yours safe—no pets unless approved in advance.
Quiet hours are observed during retreat sessions and in common areas (10 PM – 8 AM).
* Please do not litter or leave food scraps in nature. Help us preserve the land for generations to come.
⸻
We can’t wait to welcome you to Oak Creek Preserve! Come curious, come prepared, and come ready to reconnect—with nature, yourself, and something bigger.
With muddy boots & grateful hearts,
The Oak Creek Crew
