Trail Conditions & Supplies
The hike will have a leader - however, feel free to go at
your own pace. Hike leader will be making sure everyone gets
through the trail.
Portions of the trail area challenging, requiring climbing
through cypress knees and forest ferns.
There is a water crossing of the Loxahatchee River - hikers
will ford the river since it is so low. Hikers may choose to
take boots off for the fording.
The trail is a portion of the Florida Trail Association's
"Ocean To Lake" spur, off of the Florida Trail. The trail is
marked with orange blazes on trees and objects. Watch for the
orange blaze. On trails that are not obvious, you should be able
to stand at one blaze, and see the next on ahead. Two marks
means a change in direction.
On-site registration is $25.00
