McKay Bay Nature Park is a 38-acre (15 ha) park in Tampa. There is a 900-foot (270 m) boardwalk trail through mangroves and mudflats, an observation tower that doubles as an education pavilion, a paved 1.25-mile (2.01 km) multi-use trail and .5-mile (0.80 km) nature trail. Picnic tables and interpretive signage are offered. The boardwalks remain closed since 2015. The park is part of the larger 62-acre (25 ha) McKay Bay Preserve. Many species of wading birds forage, particularly in winter months. Birds may also be viewed with spotting scopes from either the park's observation tower/education pavilion, located on the east side, or the bird-viewing station on the west side.
