Big big disappointment. This has been turned into an overdeveloped real estate package. No decent bike rental high priced homes. You might as well go to the mall.

Pretty basic trail system, not much wildlife the trails go thru various ecosystems like cypress swamp, pine hammocks and open fields. Part of the trail was flooded but I trek thru it to finish it. Entrance is near fire ranger post.

Beautiful trail with informative placards. Features a variety of Ecosystems and an old cattle drive camp. Has a remote, raw feel to it.

The 2.6 mile walking trail goes through all the different everglades areas, from oak hammocks to cypress depressions. One caution, parts of the trail are always wet with a foot of water and maybe much more. If you want to see the everglades up close and not from a car or boardwalk then this is a cool spot I saw deer snakes and plenty of hog sign in the middle of the afternoon. The trail is well marked and shaded and takes an hour or more. Bring water.
