Scenic Airboat Tour:
Over the past two years, the 32 acre Southport Park has undergone a $1 million renovation that includes a complete facility facelift, including newly built and remodeled structures and a landscape overhaul. The exteriors of the buildings are now made of Cypress, cut and milled by Native Americans. Invasive, non-native plants and trees were removed to make way for a wide range of newly planted vegetation native to the area. All changes were made with great care to further restore the park to its indigenous landscape.
Native American Village
Towering Chickee Huts cover genuine artifacts and hand-made creations of Little Big Mountain and his wife Laura, as they are immersed in the daily workings of the Native American Village. Deeply rooted appreciation for Native American heritage is brought to life by the Big Mountain family for guests through the traditional stories and techniques of their culture that once thrived in Central Florida.
Various presentations of the primitive way of living on the southern plains, including demonstrations using “man’s first cooking technique” are shared with the audience for a captivating display of the indigenous lifestyle exclusive to the Native Experience at Boggy Creek!
