Spirit-of-the-Wild is located south of the Caloosahatchee River and about 40 miles northeast of Fort Myers. Its 7,000 plus acres are a part of a growing mosaic of conservation lands undergoing long term, state-of-the-art restoration to benefit the Florida panther, Florida black bear and other protected species. The waters in marshy Canoe Slough, flow north through the site to the Caloosahatchee River. The natural communities at Spirit-of-the-Wild also help buffer the extensive wetlands on the adjoining 32,162-acre Okaloacoochee Slough, an important source of water for the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve and the Big Cypress National Preserve to the south.
