Good habitat for raptors. Excellent area for woodland birds. More than 30 different tree types. The trail ends at Bear Lake. At Flamingo Stroll around this freshwater pond and enjoy a wide variety of wading birds, song birds, and other wildlife.
Alligators often cruise the pond.
Good bird watching, especially at sunrise and sunset, from the wheelchair- accessible viewing platform at the beginning of the trail. A scenic shortcut between the campground amphitheater and the visitor center. Mingle with a variety of birds and butterflies as you amble along the shore of Florida Bay. Veer left at the trail junction to the bay Meander along the shore of Florida Bay and watch for remnants of a former outpost fishing village. Shady buttonwoods and open expanses of succulent coastal plants await.
