Wayside exhibits along the trail tell of the Timucuan Indians. The trail takes the visitor to the top of a Native American Mound about 35 feet high and has two viewing areas. The southern view gives the visitor a panoramic view of the park and Mosquito Lagoon. The northern view allows the visitor to see the development outside the park. The trail is approximately .3 mile long and is accessible to visitors in wheelchairs only if they have assistance.
Some electric wheelchairs can navigate the trail.
The trail is the only one in the park that allows the visitor to walk from the ocean, through a coastal hammock, past an ancient Indian Midden to Mosquito Lagoon. There is no boardwalk on this trail. There are no interpretive signs along the trail, however, there is a site bulletin that identifies some of the plants found in the hammock and gives a brief description of Castle Windy Midden. The trail is approximately 1-mile round trip. The surface of the trail is soft sand and is not accessible to people in wheelchairs.
