Trail Information
The Rowdy Bend Trail is a 2.6-mile one-way hiking and biking trail. The trail is located less than three miles north of Flamingo along Main Park Road. The Rowdy Bend Trail is an old roadbed through a thick buttonwood forest. The well traveled dirt road only extends several hundred feet before the Rowdy Bend Trail splits off to the right. The Rowdy Bend Trail ends at the Snake Bight Trail. You can take the Snake Bight Trail back to Main Park Road, returning a little north of Rowdy Bend Trailhead, or down to Florida Bay. It offers sights of open coastal salt prairie rich in bird and animal life.
