Everglades National Park
Snake Bight Trail

Trail Length:  1.6 miles (2.6 km) one way

Wheelchair Accessible:  No

Bicycles Allowed:  Yes, except on the boardwalk at the end of the trail.

Trail Description:  Don't let the name deter you! In this play on words, a "bight" is actually a bay (Snake Bight) within a larger bay (Florida Bay). Enter another world as you walk through a tropical hardwood hammock with dozens of tropical tree species.  There's great bird watching on the boardwalk at the end of the trail if you plan to arrive near high tide.

Directions to Trail:  Four miles (6 km) north of the Flamingo Visitor Center on the main park road.
