The Everglades National Park is a superb spot for viewing wading birds and alligators off an easy paved path. There are a number of observation decks along the way, off of the main path. The trail begins at the Visitor Center, following Taylor Slough.
The Anhinga Trail is one of the best places to see alligators in this part of the Everglades, so be sure to walk to the end of the paved path an...
Paddle the 9 Mile Pond Canoe Trail
If you only do one thing in the Everglades, I highly recommend canoeing through the mangrove and lake meadows of 9 mile pond. I had thought the Everglades would have been swampy, but they are in fact "glades" or open meadows in a forest.We decided to rent canoes from the concessionaire near the Flamingo Visitor Center. They usually have canoes both at the visitor center and 9 mile pond, but a ...

However, just 50 yards south of the entry to the Estate is a small service road that leads down to the "People's Dock" on Biscayne Bay.
After you park in the main Deering parking area, you will walk down this se...

Take a Stroll on the Pa-Hay-Okee Overlook Trail
Park at the trailhead and hop onto the boardwalk trail. Its very short--just 0.2 miles, so take your time to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. Partway through the hike there is a lookout tower which is great for getting a high vantage point to enjoy the landscape from.
Be aware of wildlife around you and respectful of the space you share with them.
Anne's Beach
One of the Best beaches in Florida keys. 3 parking lots so easy to park if it's not packed. Go when it's low tide and you could walk for miles in shallow warm crystal clear waters. You can put up a hammock or blanket nestled in the mangroves.
