Starvation Slough 12 Miles
This will be a 6 mile in 6 mile out hike a segment of the Florida trail along the Kissimmee River floodplain. This section features huge historic oaks and a few wild orange trees! We will hike in and take a break at a campsite with some picnic tables.
It has been very dry and I don't expect much water however there are two creeks/canals we will need to cross so expect your feet to get wet.
You must bring at least 2 liters of water. Bring a snack if you'd like.
There is a nice campsite here, you can call the SFWMD for the access code.
Directions: Follow US 98 north from Okeechobee 16 miles, passing through the community of Basinger. Turn right on Micco Landing Rd at the Basinger Community Center. Follow Micco Landing Rd north for 8 miles. Turn left into the entrance for Starvation Slough and follow the dirt road to the trailhead.
