We did not have time to walk this when we visited in March. So on my return I had to visit. What I experienced was no less incredible than the Anhinga, just different. Many of the comments compare it to the animals you see on the Anhinga. While I saw a gator, some butterflies, and hundreds of small lizards, the... More

We really enjoyed this short walk, but wear your bug repellent! Terrific and really huge Gumbo Limbo Trees as well as Tillandsias bromeliads and orchids. Easy walking.

the trail offers a gentle walk into old Florida. it is easy to forget the world and be engulfed by Nature. as you walk you can see the different affects hurricanes and time have on the trees and vegetation. there is an infinite variety of small creatures that pop out and show you their beauty.

Located right next to the Anhinga trail it is a delightful .4 mile contrast to the Slough boardwalk. I would suggest the Slough first as it includes the gators, and then moving to the Gumbo Limbo as it offers cover from the sun, which would be needed during the hotter months. I came just as the wet season was beginning,... More

This short trail near Anhinga in the Royal Palm area was pleasant under the trees and foilage. I didn't see a lot of wildlife, but there were some tropical sites throughout the trail. Also one resident Alligator, keeping an eye on things.

After the Anhinga Trail, the Gumbo Limbo trail failed to impress. Maybe it's interesting for people who love trees. It was nice and shady, so you won't get too hot walking the trail. It's actually a paved path!! It's good for older people since it's not too long.

It's okay, but don't invest too much time. There is plenty of shade, so you'll find this is a good place to cool off on a hot Florida day, but there aren't too many Gumbo Limbo trees to see, nor much of anything else. It is only about a fifteen minute walk, so it might be worth the trip if... More

An opportunity to get out of the sun and into the shade. Some informative plaques along the way but not much to see except for trees and foliage. Still, it was enjoyable!

These trees look like they are peeling from a severe sunburn. There are many other varieties in the trail including the strangler fig and many air plants. It was cool on the trail and it was a nice loop and not too long. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
