In many areas of the park, trails allow you to explore the diversity of habitats within South Florida.  While exploring the park, be sure to bring plenty of water and be aware of changing weather conditions.  If you hear thunder, seek cover immediately.  The safest places to do so may be inside a building or vehicle. 

Insects can be present year-round; with the hot, humid summer months being the most severe.  Be prepared for mosquitoes and a variety of biting flies.

A variety of land trails offer visitors opportunities for leisurely walks, extended hikes and bicycle treks.  All boardwalk trails in the park are wheelchair accessible.

Paddlers can access many miles of water trails along or near the park's southern and western coasts.
