If you’re eager to escape for a little peace, tranquility, and wildlife, I’ll let you in on a little secret: you’ll find the Florida Everglades, one of the country’s priceless treasures and one of some folk's favorite ways to explore this unique ecosystem.
What are the Florida Everglades?
Everglades National Park Biking the Shark Valley
Spanning more than 1.5 million acres across three Florida counties, the Everglades encompass the largest slice of subtropical wilderness in the United States. Here you can airboat through the marshlands, or hike or bike through the quiet forested areas, where you’re likely to catch a glimpse of some of the endangered and exotic creatures that live here, including manatees, alligators, over 300 species of birds and the elusive Florida Panther.
Shark Valley – What’s in a Name?

Shark Valley lies in the heart of the Everglades and despite its name; you’re unlikely to find any sharks in the shallow waters here. The name comes from Shark River, the area in the Gulf of Mexico where the Everglades water flows.
Why Bike Shark Valley?
Biking the Shark Valley loop is a unique way to experience Florida’s natural beauty and one of my favorite ways to explore the Everglades. The trail is a family-friendly activity that not only gets you out into the fresh air but also builds lasting memories.
It’s a treat getting out with loved ones on the – two sometimes three hours – loop taking in the scenery at a leisurely pace and appreciating the surrounding beauty. It’s an invigorating nature lover’s paradise!
