Chinsegut Nature Center

A beautiful spot in Hernando County that not all know about......the Chinsegut Nature Center is part of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation located North of Brooksville just off of U.S. 41 / Snow Memorial Highway.
"Chinsegut," is an Alaskan Inuit Indian word for the "spirit of lost things." However, the original owner of the land, Col. Raymond Robins used a looser translation: "The place where things of true value that have been lost may be found again."
The nature center is open for educational activities and events but is open to the public during scheduled times or by appointment.
This is your chance to get close to nature and see many species...white-tailed deer, turkeys, gopher frogs, and beautiful butterflies - to name a few.
