Florida National Scenic Trail

⏱ To complete the entire section of the Florida National Scenic Trail within Big Cypress National Preserve takes several days. Day-hikers and visitors not looking to complete the entire section of trail, can turn it into an out and back hike. There is also a loop (marked with blue trailblazers) that can be completed. The loop is approximately 12 miles round trip.<br /> <br /> Completing the section of the trail within Gulf Islands National Seashore will take a minimum of several hours if not multiple days, but may also be turned into an out and back hike with several parking lots and other stops along the way. The only campground available within the seashore is located at Fort Pickens, about 1 mile into the hike.
