Details
Parking for hikers is located at the trailhead at Gate 2.
6 or 10 mile loop hike depending on participants' consensus. Prior to or on the trail. Expect sections to be muddy and wet. Possibly for extended periods. 3-5+ hours depending on distance/difficulty. The trail is wholly established and maintained for hikers. But this is remote & wilderness. Two-thirds of the area is pinelands, and one-third is cypress swamp and freshwater marsh. In the rainy season, the pine flatwoods often contain standing water and portions of the roads could be flooded.
