Description: Slosh for up to 3.5 miles on a very wet walk in the Big Cypress Swamp along the Sabal Palm Trail at Picayune Strand State Forest near Naples.
This hike is in a very remote area and is best visited with a companion. During the wet season, you may find the trail up to waist-deep in places. The return route is not clearly signposted; be alert for landmarks, or use a map and compass. Mosquitoes can be fierce. Hunting is permitted in the forest during certain seasons; wear blaze orange if you hike the trail during hunting season.
