When you visit Everglades National Park in South Florida you’ll have your pick of which hiking trails you’d like to try out. Many visitors are partial to the Anhinga Boardwalk Trail, which is nice if you’re looking for a short-and-sweet hike that takes less than a mile roundtrip. However, many guests who make the trek down the Everglades want a longer hike, perhaps one that’ll show them miles and miles of unparalleled views. This is where the Shark Valley Trail comes into play. This incredible 16-mile trek is popular with bikers and offers some pretty scenic views along the way.
Everglades National Park is an experience unto itself that cannot be completed in a day.

But if you’re looking for a great place to start, perhaps one with over 15 miles of trail and views as far as the eye can see, then check out Shark Valley Trail.

Shark Valley is smack dab in the heart of the Everglades and stretches 100 miles from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico.

Also, even if you don’t have a bike of your own, the park rents bikes by the hour so you still can enjoy the trail.
