Trail Information
The Snake Bight Trail heads south from the trailhead for 1.6 miles reaching the shore of Florida Bay. It is an easy walk through a tropical hardwood hammock. This is a good hike for bird watching, especially on the boardwalk at the end of the trail. Bicycles are permitted all the way to the boardwalk.
About half way down the trail, you’ll see where Rowdy Bend Trail enters on the right. The Rowdy Bend Trail is a 2.6-mile route along an old roadbed through a thick buttonwood forest. It leads back to Main Park Road. This is a challenging bike loop by traveling Main Park Road back to Snake Bight Trail parking area.
