Everglades Holiday Park- 21940 Griffin Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33332
This route follows the double-track roads at the west end of Everglades Holiday Park. The path is crushed rock and gravel and is flanked by marshy grass fields and bayous. The flat trail is easy-going and excellent for walking, running, and mountain biking. Wildlife is plentiful, with wild pigs, alligators, snakes, turtles, and many bird species. This is a long, exposed route, so be prepared for the elements.
