Reviews
"we set up telescopes here, but there was a lot of light on the horizon from Miami/Homestead; we'll try Paurotis Pond next time"
"Very nice canoe trail with lots of red mangrove and spike rush (i.e. nature)! We rented 2-people canoe from Flamingo Adventures. They have two timeslots for rental; we reserved for 1 PM and completed the trail with "shortcut" (turn at marker 44) as advised by the rental office. That took 2h30m at a leisure pace. As for the route, follow the loop counter-clockwise from plastic pole #1. It is located straight across from the parking lot. Don't be tempted by the arch way half-way across the pond. If you find yourself entering another small pond, then you are going the wrong way! The entire trail has these plastic pole markers for you to follow numerically, which is really nice. There are lots of zig-zags so be sure to look for these markers! Overall, it was a very unique canoe experience. We didn't see any alligator or crocodile; just a few birds."
"A great overlook to the lake, easy to spot gators surfing slowly from side to side. Parking lot is close by, easy access to the lake"
"Really awesome for kayaking and just have a leisurely time in nature! Be sure to look out for markers, or you'll get lost (like we did) hahahaha. We somehow cut through the mangroves and came out on the other side of the "loop" made around the pond. Our fault totally, but had a great time and saw a 5' gator, egrets, a good size Florida Gar, and lots of mangrove tunnels."
"Great trail, I recommend going counter clockwise through the trail - I did not and struggled to find the poles. Due to low water I wasn't able to complete the trek, but I did make it ~1/3 through. It was a gorgeous trail. Saw lots of fish, birds and gators."
