We had wanted to hike the Christian Point Trail but were told by the rangers that it was muddy in places and to try the Snake Bight Trail, which we did. It was quite cool and there were no mosquitoes in early March. The walk follows an old overgrown canal down to the Bight. It is 1.8 miles one way,... More

It may have been the time we went in February but didn't see much beyond a few birds here and there. The trail itself is a straight path to a small overlook that is blocked by vegetation. I suppose they didn't build the trail out past the vegetation for a specific reason but we did find this trail quite boring.... More

My husband two children and I walked Snake Bight Trail just before dusk hoping to glimpse a snake and we sure did! It was almost more than we bargained for. The trail was surrounded in stunning vegetation, flanked by a stream that followed the wide dirt path for it's length and constantly dotted with butterflies. There was were no visitors... More

We sprayed down with repellent at the suggestion of our field guide. even bathed in bug juice, we were both covered with mosquitos less than 50 yards down the trail. By 150 yards we realized we wouldn't make the 1/8 mile ONE WAY trip, so we abandoned our walk and RAN back to the car. This was our 2nd attempt... More

Our bike ride had us at the board walk overlook during low tide. There was very little to see as compared with other parts of the park (e.g. Anhinga Trail)

This 1.8 mile trail shows a great x-section of the everglades. Take the time to hike it if you can. On this february trip we did not see a single mosquito. Hopefully you will be that lucky as well.

This is a straight walk 1.8 miles with a limited variety of experience. It is good if you want to stretch your legs for an hour or so but is somewhat of a monotenous route.

This trail supposedly is the place you can see Florida Flamingos in the distance. However, after about 1/2 mile into our hike the mosquitos won and we turned back. If you want to see Flamingos up close and personal, opt for the Camarouge in France. . . even better viewing than in Spain.
