Committed to Conservation

Preserving the Natural Beauty
for Generations

One of the most alluring features of Wild Heron is the stunning natural beauty evident from the moment you enter the gates. More than half of Wild Heron is “green space” with 206 acres dedicated to preservation, and another 187 acres to Watersound Club’s famous Shark’s Tooth Golf Course. Even the golf course was carefully designed with minimal impact on the land earning it Audubon’s Silver Signature Status.

Our community is surrounded by numerous ponds, the largest coastal dune lake in the northern hemisphere, pine forests and ancient live oaks, as well as a vast number of species of plants and wildlife. Conservation signs throughout the neighborhood identify the protected areas and our covenants, conditions, and restrictions are designed to preserve and complement the natural landscape.

Lake Powell

An Ecological Treasure

Located on the shores of Wild Heron, Lake Powell is the largest coastal dune lake in North America and holds the coveted “Pristine Florida Waterway” designation. It's a perfect place for boating, fishing, watersports, birdwatching and more, creating resort-living vibes.

An extraordinary natural resource, this coastal dune lake features an exceedingly rare and precious freshwater ecosystem found in only a few locations worldwide.

Although considered a freshwater lake, it intermittently exchanges water with the Gulf through a meandering outlet. The periodic opening and closing of that outflow is what makes coastal dune lakes so unique, resulting in a mix of freshwater and saltwater aquatic life.
