- Christian Point Trail - Approaching soon is Christian Point Trail. If you’re seeking a quieter experience away from the crowds, this trail might be perfect for you, as it’s less popular in the park. It’s slightly more challenging than some other trails, but still considered moderately difficult. The entire trail is four miles round trip and leads to another expansive view of the shoreline accessible from Snake Bight Trail.
- Mahogany Hammock Road - Just ahead is a quick detour to the Mahogany Hammock Trail. This boardwalk trail meanders a half-mile through a dense jungle of hardwood trees and takes about 10 minutes to complete. But there’s more than just lush greenery here. The trail also boasts the largest living mahogany tree in the United States!
- Everglades Outpost - Coming up soon is the Everglades Outpost, a wildlife rescue where you can encounter over 200 exotic animals. In 1991, Bob and Barbara Freer dedicated themselves to rescuing and rehabilitating animals that would otherwise be euthanized. They began with small birds and raccoons, but soon expanded to camels, lemurs, big cats, and more! Most of these animals were kept as illegal exotic pets before being cared for by the Freers, with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into their natural habitats.
- Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center - Throughout the early 1900s, large portions of the Everglades were drained, filled in, and converted into agricultural or residential land. Hunting of local wildlife was rampant and unchecked. It seemed only a matter of time before the entire wetland would disappear.
- 33034 - Approaching is West Lake Trail. This half-mile boardwalk leads to West Lake and offers clear views across the water. It takes about 10 minutes to walk and is a great stop for anyone hoping to see some of the park’s marine wildlife. The water isn’t particularly clear, but see if you can spot the telltale ripples of an alligator or crocodile swimming across the lake! If you were a deer, would you be able to see it approaching in time to escape?
- Main Park Road - Earnest F. Coe may be known as the Father of the Everglades, but he didn’t create this park alone. He had assistance, especially from Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Douglas worked as a columnist for the Miami Herald and was renowned for her passionate advocacy for women’s rights, racial justice, and conservation. She joined Coe’s fight in the 1920s and used her writing skills to defend the Everglades. She wrote columns to capture the public’s imagination and penned letters to Congress to make her case.
- Pa-Hay-Okee Lookout Tower - Coming up soon is Pa-Hay-Okee Lookout Tower. Accessible via a short boardwalk, this observation platform offers visitors panoramic views of the “river of grass” that comprises much of the Everglades. It’s a quick, 5-minute detour, and well worth a stop.
- Gumbo Limbo Trail - Up next is a brief detour to the Gumbo Limbo Trail. Gumbo Limbo is only a half-mile long. It’s paved, shaded, and winds through a thick grove of hardwood trees and lush ferns. It is easy and can be completed in about 15 minutes.
- Nine Mile Pond Canoe Trail - Ahead is Nine Mile Pond Trail. One key feature sets this trail apart from others: It’s not on land! This is a canoe trail. Visitors with boats can paddle the 5-mile loop through shallow, grassy marsh, not just observing the natural scenery from a distance, but actually passing through it! The water levels are generally high enough in the fall and winter, though conditions can vary in the case of a drought.
- Everglades National Park - Welcome to your tour of the Everglades! This unique, delicate ecosystem is unlike anywhere else on earth. Get ready to explore this remarkable place, learn about its history, and discover what the future may hold for the Everglades.
Note: This 48+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of the Everglades in 3-4 hours.

- Snake Bight Trail - Up next is Snake Bight Trail. Don’t let the name intimidate you. That’s B-I-G-H-T, not B-I-T-E. A bight is a type of bay, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. This 3.6-mile out-and-back trail travels through lush, shaded jungle before opening out onto a scenic bay. It takes about an hour to walk on average, but it’s also open to bikes except for the brief boardwalk portion at the end.
- Pinelands Trailhead - Just ahead is Pineland Trail, where you can get up close with the most endangered ecosystem in the Everglades. This half-mile, paved loop runs through a forest of lush green pines, palmettos, and wildflowers. It feels like strolling through a primordial rainforest!
- Flamingo Visitor Center - Looking for a glimpse of civilization? You’ll find it just ahead, at the Flamingo Visitor Center. This comprehensive visitor center has all the usual amenities you’d expect, like snacks, restrooms, and an information booth, but it also offers quite a bit more. Want to rent a canoe or kayak? They’ve got them! How about a bicycle? That too!
- Eco Pond Trailhead - Just ahead is the Eco Pond Trail. If you’ve been eager to see more Everglades wildlife, this is the perfect stop for you. This half-mile trail loops around a small pond that’s almost always teeming with wading birds, ducks, songbirds, and more. Plus, keep an eye on the waters for softshell turtles and alligators!
