CREW Flint Pen Strand Trails

"Nicely marked loop hiking trails from 1 to 3 miles long"

"The purple trail was nice and connects to crew rookery bird trails in collier county. 7/9/23 trail was not flooded."

"So many great Trails here. My favorite is when I start off and stay to the right along the canal heading north. There is so much wildlife to see in a beautiful and quiet setting. I saw Gators, deer very large Turtles and many birds as well as other life flourishing there. I highly suggest you spend some time there and really explore!"

"I visited this trail last week and it's a awesome hike! There's a lot of ecosystems you will see from swamps to pine trees forest to wetlands. The trails are well marked and there is a huge parking lot with a porty potty and a map with information. I frequently hike CREW trails and this one is just as great. Word of advice go in morning or evening, too hot during the day. And the trails are heavy flooded so bring good boots and back up clothes."

"**03/17/21 update** Came back to this trail today to check it out after my last visit over a year ago. My mom and I did the red trail. Great area with shade, benches to sit, maintained paths and easy markings to follow. Nice area to hike but would be flooded and hot in summer months. Glad this area is being preserved. Would recommend and looks like more areas being added to hike. ***** What a beautiful day to go on a hike. This was our first time here and we hiked the red trail and some of the orange trail stopping at the parking lot near the lake. Easy to find, large parking lot with a bathroom. Trails are well marked and clear. Some sugar sand but manageable. Was pretty dry when we went, I'm sure its pretty wet during summer months. Some shade areas and a nice bench under a huge tree halfway. Summer months would be hot to hike, but it was a beautiful day to spend outside. Glad we found this trail. Thanks 2020 and Lee County/Collier County for preserving this area. Please continue preserving land for us all to enjoy nature."
