This designated canoe trail in the Everglades leads paddlers through shallow ponds and freshwater marshes that are home to lots of alligators, turtles, wading birds, and fish. This trip follows the complete loop but there is a shorter trip option available that is about 1.5 miles shorter. The trails are marked by white PVC pipes. The area can be impassible during low water so check with the national park before setting out. Mosquitos can also be an issue during certain times of the year in certain spots along the trail so find out what areas to avoid when exploring the area.
