 Overview There are a series of trails and roads bordering some private ranch land called the Picayune Everglades Ranch area. Horseback riding and walking are allowed here. Some of the trail is very sandy and similar to walking on a beach. Other parts of the trail are grassy and easier to walk on. You may see some deer in this area, and it may be possible to see bears also. Hike From the parking area, hike east on the yellow trail. Within 1/3 mile you will see a blue trail junction and some picnic tables and a junction. Continue going east on the yellow trail. After hiking 0.6 miles, you'll see a private property sign and the road bends slightly to the right, going around the private property. Continue until you have walked a total of 0.9 miles and you will see a junction. There's a yellow trail leading to the south, but I decided to take the yellow trail going north and then east. Continue until you have traveled a total of 1.5 miles and you will reach a junction. Turn left and you should then be on the blue trail. This blue trail will travel north, northeast, and then northwest. After hiking a total of 2.25 miles from the starting point, this blue trail will turn going west. Keep following this trail west, north, and west again. After hiking a total of 3.8 miles you will reach another junction with a blue trail going west and south. Turn left, going south, and you will follow this blue trail roughly 0.5 miles back to the yellow trail. Once at the yellow trail, turn right and take this trail 1/3 mile back to the starting point.
