Cypress Preserve Hike & Lunch

Hike: Approximately 4 miles

We’re heading to Cypress Preserve in Bonita for a slightly shorter hike than usual. This route will be approximately four miles at a steady but relaxed pace. A great option if you want trail time without committing to one of our longer hikes.

This 428-acre preserve in Bonita Springs consists of several natural plant communities, including wet flatwoods, live oak hammocks, freshwater marshes and cypress.

If timing works out, we’ll head somewhere nearby for lunch after the hike. Completely optional, as always. A nice way to refuel and enjoy some relaxed conversation off the trail.
