Image: The entrance to this new eight hundred-foot long protected walkway is found at one side of the main parking lot. Here you see the end of the walkway and the relationship between the current hammock and the marshes that have silted in over the past two hundred years. In short, in the center of this photograph, you are looking at what is left of the side of Fort Mose. Concerning the silting of this area, when Henry Flagler built the Ponce de Leon Hotel in 1888, he need fill dirt to eliminate low areas on the hotel's construction site, so he bought this land and had 18 inches of the top soil removed from what was the long-lost Fort Mose and transported to where he was building his grand hotel. Fort Mose II is buried under water in the marshes to the right of this photo.
