Anhinga Trail, Everglades National Park

My ultimate favorite trail. Went in the summer but in winter there is actually a ton of life. Was a little too wet to see bathing Gators this go around. But the nice boardwalk is more than enough.

This place is AMAZING! It has restrooms and a nice little gift shop right by the parking lot. The trails are some sidewalk and mostly board walk allowing you to get so close to wildlife. Alligators, turtles, birds, and giant colorful grass hoppers are just the highlights! This place is perfect for families and wildlife lovers! Depending on the time/season make sure you’re equipped with bug spray. Everglades is by far my favorite National Park you could spend many days here and still have more to explore and more wildlife to see!

This is one of the most beautiful trails inside the Everglades National Park. It's just a few miles from the Ernest Co Entry point. You can spot a lot of crocodiles and alligators along the trail. When we went we saw a huge crocodile just chilling on the side of the road. It was really scary, but it was very lazy. In general they never attack unless provoked. It was an amazing experience. It's one of the must visit spots.

To access this trail, go to the Royal Palms Visitor Center, nearest city is Homestead Fl. You may need to pay the $25 entrance fee to get into Everglades National Park however this is good for 7 Days in any entrance when visiting the National Park. A lovely walk on a boardwalk, mostly not shaded so be smart with hats and water. At our time there, there were giant grasshoppers, tons of birds, alligators and turtles and fish. We only had to walk about 20 yards before there was a very large alligator chilling on the path. Well worth a stop here.

I love this trail and all its gators. We also walked this at nighttime like 10pm and the stars looked amazing since there is no light pollution. Absolutely stunning
