The Circle B Bar Reserve is located in Polk County, Florida. It comprises 1,267 acres (5.13 km2) at 4399 Winter Lake Road (SR 540) in Lakeland, Florida and is managed as part of the Southwest Florida Water Management District. It is named after the cattle ranch that once occupied the site and was purchased to help maintain the Banana Creek marsh area. It hosts the Polk County Nature Discovery Center, completed in 2008. It is home to an impressive array of birds such as white ibis, Roseate Spoonbills, sandhill cranes and bald eagles along with other wildlife like alligators, bobcats, snakes and wild hogs since undergoing a wetland restoration effort.
