Details
PUBLIC/STRENUOUS - Fast Paced - 13 miles
LOOPS 3 & 4. NOTE TIME CHANGE TO 9:00AM!!
As most of you know, Dupuis is a 21,875 acre multi-use natural area in northwest Palm Beach County. The property is interspersed with numerous ponds, wet prairies, cypress domes, pine flatwoods and remnant Everglades marsh.
We plan on driving in from gate 1 on a dirt for about 6 miles to CYRPESS BOARDWALK. You can put DUPUIS BOARDWALK AND OBSERVATION PLATFORM into GOOGLE MAPS. Otherwise just enter at GATE 1, go straight in and just keep following the dirt road for 6 miles. You can also park on the right after entering Gate 1 and carpool in if you like.
Please bring 2 liters of water (2 liters = four 16 oz bottles), If it is HOT, we will actually check that you have this much water! Also bring a hat, sunscreen, bug repellant, and a snack. Hopefully, the trail will be dry by then, but this of course depends on how much rain we continue to get....so be prepared to get your feet wet. There is no port-a-poddy at the trail head.
