Bridge

The water below your feet here is collected from ditches that run along Lora Lane (the road you took to get here) and water that runs over Brooker Creek Preserve land east of here. During storm events, water collects in this system of manmade ditches, serving as a flood prevention tool for the area neighborhoods. This water flows west into another system of drainage ditches along Ranch Road and eventually flows into the main channel of Brooker Creek. These trenches are dug and maintained by Pinellas County Public Works.
