Unfortunately due to the windy condition (because of tropical storm Marco & Laura), fish, turtles and gators are hiding away today. Yet we enjoyed the trial, it is very family friendly with all paved or elevated walks. We still spot a few birds and fish, and whole group of crickets. I also like the views. I believe you would see abundant creatures here in dry season or even a slightly more calm day.

Nice trail. All wooden, quite wide. Handicapped accessible. Saw an alligator and tons of other birds and wildlife. The views were good. Bathrooms and drinking fountains available at the start of the trail.

I got to see 2 alligators here and this is a lovely trial with very humid weather. Must visit place and loved the ride to reach this place as well.

Beautiful - lots of lily pads and many birds. Bring bug spray!

I wish I had seen the sign earlier, not once I was done. They have signs warning the vultures like to eat the rubber molding on your car. Came back from the hike to find several vultures ontop of my car picking at the molding. They recommend bringing tarps and bungee cords to cover it. Even standing next to my car loading up one still flew back ontop they like the stuff so much.Very nice trail though. The water was super clear. Could look over the railing and see plants and fish. Saw lots of lizards, birds, and a couple gators.

Want to see alligators and other interesting critters? You will find it here. This was a great stop on the way to the Keys. Lots to see and explore.Oh, Bring some water! Non Floridians may not be used to the heat. It was pretty humid the day we went, though its pretty standard Florida weather.

So quite and peaceful. Nature is amazing.

Beautiful and peaceful! The park volunteers were helpful and friendly!

Amazing beautiful place. Didnt see any gators though. Lots of other wildlife though

We get to the Everglades every year and never miss getting to the Anhinga Trail. Great sightings of alligators and birds all right next to you on the trail. If you can do it, dont miss the night tour. Be sure to wear bug protection. Spooky seeing all those glowing eyes

This place was awesome! We saw two crocodiles, 10 or so turtles, and a lot of fish. You have to look closely to spot anything, but it was well worth our 2 hour drive from the Florida Keys to check this place out. Plan an hour or two for this place.

Great place for a walk around the Everglades. We saw various birds, turtles, vegetation and of course tons of alligators. Staff was great and very friendly and gave us information on the animals. My kids love the trails. We were there for about an hour. It was a drive to get out there but worth it for the cool weather.

Beautiful and few people visiting on Columbus Day 2020.

Amazing !! Go see the Aligators if you dare ! They are apparently very docile and its such a beautiful walk. We only stopped there for a couple of hours on route to the keys. Well worth a visit !

Nice walk, did get to see an Anhinga this time around.

Probably the best trail in the park to see wildlife. The trail is mostly a boardwalk and accessible easily. The fall and winter times are not great for wildlife viewing, but if you are persistent, you may get lucky and spot an alligator here and there. Come for the sunrise or sunset for the best light.

It was excellent overall 0.8 mile trail with beautiful nature. Easy to walk around and take pics. Kids enjoy. We have spotted alligators easily, fishes and birds. Must visit place for nature lovers. This is unique. Free parking and facilities.

Seemingly not that interesting at first and one of the more more touristy spots in the Everglades. Nevertheless, lots of beautiful flora, birds, turtles and alligators This spot has lots of great viewing areas and is a really easy walk along mostly wooden boardwalks.

Plenty of Gators, tons of fish, a few turtles, and some birds. The trail is partially paved, partially elevated and an easy walk. Youre pretty close to the Gators but it feels safe enough. Definitely worth the price of admission even if you only stop here. The side path away from the water wasnt very exciting, though.

Nice trail to start exploring the National Park. You will need around an hour to finish it. Its not guaranteed you will see a alligator but if you look closely you will find turtles in the water.

Really great location to see birds and gators. Short easy walk with paved trail and boardwalk.

Beautiful, HOT, and filled with creatures! Bring your hat and bug spray and have your camera ready, this park is filled to the brim with wildlife!

Very peaceful and saw a gator eating another gator.

Very beautiful scenery!

The Everglades is a unique National park. On this visit we were disappointed that there were. Very few birds or other wildlife here at this spot which is normally a great viewing location. Must be too wet...

Very cool nature trail very active with gators fish snakes very cool must see spot the whole park and all trails are a must to be seen

This trail is in the EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK. I cannot stress how important it is to stop here!!! I have NEVER been so close to nature in all of its beauty. You can almost touch the alligators, birds, fish, etc

We did the free morning ranger tour around the trail. It was a great experience with lots of wildlife to see. We got to see about 6 alligators! The ranger was very informative and took the time to show us around the trail.

Nice relaxing short hike. Too many humans. But plenty of gators and cool birds.

Loved this trail,we saw so many plants and animals. Amazing walkways. Would definitely wear a hat. This was my favorite trail in the park.

Pretty hike. Very easy and not too long. Lots of animals including birds, turtles and alligators

Wonderful nature, we saw about 12 alligators and many different kinds of birds and fish and even a beautiful tortoise.

Prettiest walk in the Everglades. You might see huge alligators with their noses on the path. The boardwalk goes round and through the lake. Many fish, turtles, the water is so clear you can see anhingas swimming underwater.

This has to in the top 10 for unique short walks in the entire National Park system. If you go early, you can avoid the crowds and heat.

Nice and relaxing walking trail to be in close contact with a variety of plants and animals in the ecosystem of the Everglades

What a wonderful day! We took the free trolley from Homestead to the Everglades and enjoyed every minute of it... Our tour guide Jason was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you to Homestead for providing an inexpensive way to see a landmark park. Highly suggest doing this early; we took the 9am trolley.

One of the best places in the Everglades to see wildlife! We saw alligators and anhingas and other wildlife. Beautiful trail! Easy to walk and well maintained!

Very cool trial at Everglades National Park! We even saw some alligators, we happened to get there right as a guided tour was starting. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different wildlife and history about the park!

We love this boardwalk trail. Perfect for people who cannot wall on gravel or dirt paths, but interesting for everyone. I suggest this trail to people with young children because the side railings keep children close and safe. We have been here on multiple occasions over different seasons and have always seen wildlife of all kinds. I have never had any problems with mosquitoes in any season. If you have a US National Park Annual pass, it lets you in without payment.

If you ever get to Florida, visit the Everglades. Beautiful.

Such a wonderful part of the Everglades. Plan to spend a good hour or so here before moving on.

A MARVELOUS COMPROMISEbetween preservationists and tourism forces in a tourism state, the trail leads visitors into the glades for views of birds and gators and much else. But the often elevated trail ensures no interaction. An easy walk and good gift shop.

A good place to visit if you want to get a quick feel of what the Everglades park is all about. Park rangers provide good information and show people around the place. You get to see a lot of wildlife including alligators. The best time to visit in order to see more wildlife is the dry season during my the winter. Normally, at that time water is not so much and wildlife concentrates around the few remaining bodies of water. It can be quite a show!

Saw 5 alligators and if nothing else it’s. A beautiful walk to immerse yourself in the Everglades without getting your shoes dirty.

Parking was easy. (Just be aware of the vultures hanging out on your parked car and picking at the rubber). Trail seemed well maintained and was perfect for a short nature walk. We went early so only saw one alligator on the path. We saw several others in the water. Didnt see too many fish, but saw a few different birds. Definitely worth it.

Absolutely love it. So quite.

If you want to see alligators, this is the place for you! Its an easy walk, all boardwalk or pavement. In a half hour walk, we saw at least 25 gators, all over ten feet long, most within spitting distance. Awesome!

Love this trail....very nicely done and maintained and gives us a great experience of the everglades from hammocks to grasslands ..u get to see so many birds (Anhinga, heron, ibis, egrets, vultures etc.) and other wildlife (gators, turtles, grasshoppers etc)

One of the best wildlife trails Ive ever seen. This place is absolutely amazing! Tons of alligators, birds, turtles, fish, etc. An abosolute must-see in the Everglades, and is very close to the entrance.

Best trail in the south section of the Everglades. All boardwalk and beautiful. Restrooms and visitor info.

Great place to experience nature. Lots of trails and open areas. Wildlife galore. Great weather during the winter.

Very beautiful short boardwalk over the pond to experience Everglades. We saw alligators, different kinds of birds, fishes. There is Another short trail to experience plant habitats in Everglades.

Amazing nature!Good trail!

An amazing trail to see a glimpse of the Everglades. It’s paved the entire way (and flat), so its stroller/wheelchair friendly and great for all ages. You see a ton of wildlife (gators, birds, turtles, etc.), and it wasn’t overly crowded.

Great short walk with ample opportunities for animal encounters and beautiful scenery. Easily walkable for our 10 year old.

Great trail to see alligators right next to the wooden trail path. Around 0.5 mile long

Saw the most alligators, birds, turtles, fish and plants on this trail. Up close and personal encounters with all the wildlife along a nice boardwalk.

Alligators are hard to find here in the summer. But the view is good

This is a very nice trail. It is 100% ADA accessible so anyone who can walk at least a mile can do it. Normally I dont love boardwalk trails but this one is great because it allows you to really get a look into the Everglades water. Wildlife really abounded and we were treated to seeing many birds and animals.

What a special place. We just kept seeing new and marvelous sightings of wildlife with each step.

I just love nature cause its so neat!!!!

Spectacular. Popular and busy but spectacular and beautiful. Well maintained and easy to get around

My ultimate favorite trail. Went in the summer but in winter there is actually a ton of life. Was a little too wet to see bathing Gators this go around. But the nice boardwalk is more than enough.

This is the best of the southern part of the Everglades. Take your time on this trail. Look in the foliage for lots of birds. Look hard because they well camouflaged. Look on the water for lots of fish. Gators tend to rest on small hammocks.

Awsome see some gaters!

Anhinga Trail is a very scenic, easy walk. The roundttip on a nicely paved way takes 30-60 min and one gets to see many animals. We spotted multiple alligators and a broad range of bird species. If you have time for only one stop in the Everglades - this is the one!

We had a great time. It was my first time there and it was great.

Very beautiful trail and must visit if you visit Everglades. If you have limited time and get a good view of Everglades then just do this one trail and you should be good. Saw 5 alligators and ton of anhinga birds and turtles and gars in the water. Saw one anhinga try to eat a fish which was too big for him. It was funny to watch this bird trying to gulp a big fish. Lose lose situation for both because there was no way this fish would fit this birds throat but it won’t let the fish go. This place has very scenic views and you can literally see most of the wild species found in Everglades. I would recommend spending more time on south side of Everglades park than the north side.

This place is AMAZING! It has restrooms and a nice little gift shop right by the parking lot. The trails are some sidewalk and mostly board walk allowing you to get so close to wildlife. Alligators, turtles, birds, and giant colorful grass hoppers are just the highlights! This place is perfect for families and wildlife lovers! Depending on the time/season make sure you’re equipped with bug spray. Everglades is by far my favorite National Park you could spend many days here and still have more to explore and more wildlife to see!

Short walk on a developed trail with a wide paved path and boardwalks. Unless its a very cold day, you will see alligators. This is a very popular trail, so expect to see lots of people.

Nice trail - all boardwalk and good amount of parking. Saw a few turtles, no gators though. Was quite busy as it is near to the entrance of the park, so people that dont want to drive (slowly) very far into the Everglades stop here.

Nice natural trail and its possible to see some alligator and turtles.

Great walk! Opportunities to see different wildlife and just enjoy the uniqueness of the area.

So close to nature... Awesome place!

What a beautiful place! Well maintained paths and restrooms were clean. Plenty of places to refill water bottles as well!

This short loop of .8 miles is a must. You will see almost all the odds to see in the everglades. Lots of alligators, birds, and turtles. We were there mid March and we saw two alligators fighting, a heron eating a fish and other birds eating, turtles dining and eating lily pad flowers as well as lots of alligators. Take your time, it is worth it.

This was a very nice trail. The boardwalk was in good condition and there was tons of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Alligators were a bit too close at one point for my liking. Trail was pretty short and had a nice loop.

We saw so much wildlife in such a short walk. If this the only thing you can see while your here do this. We went during the day and came back for sunset.

Wounderful Place. We see a lot a of alligators and other animals. Much better than a alligator farm or something else. Here you can see the animals in nature. Entry in the Park is $25 per Car. It access entry for 7 days.

Great place to see alligators up close and lots of other wildlife

Loads of alligators. Would recommend. It is even better than the air boat as you get real close to the alligators

This is one of the most beautiful trails inside the Everglades National Park. Its just a few miles from the Ernest Co Entry point. You can spot a lot of crocodiles and alligators along the trail. When we went we saw a huge crocodile just chilling on the side of the road. It was really scary, but it was very lazy. In general they never attack unless provoked. It was an amazing experience. Its one of the must visit spots.

A great place to see alligators, a variety of birds, and plenty of fish.

A cool place to see aquatic wildlife

Simple and popular walk. Great views but quite crowded.

Beautiful, with an excellent talk and guided walk by the park ranger. Thank you, U.S. National Park Service. To all of you, this is your tax dollars at work for everyone right now and for our collective future

Was not expecting much and was so surprised by how beautiful it was. The water is actually clear, so you can see fish and turtles. Saw plenty of alligators too!

Takes about 20 minutes to walk the flat & level, cement & boardwalk trail. Spotted (5-20 feet away) 10+- alligators.

Nice short trail to see the nature and for sure wildlife! Also nice for kids and older people and friendly.

Love it but it sadenes me as a local our aligator population took a major decrease i only seen three gators. I miss the 90s the anhinga trail was full of gators.

A great little trail, under a mile in length, partly a paved path, partly a boardwalk. An excellent spot to observe wildlife, from fish to birds to gators.

This is like my second home. I love coming specifically to this trail because of the quantity of wildlife I encounter. If you want to see huge gators, beautiful birds and lush trails this is definitely a stop.

A great place to see so many alligators!

The view was great. You might spot alligator, grass hopper, white ibis, tricoloured heron, and largemouth bass.

Amazing view and experience

Led by ranger Nathan Fox was the highlight of our trip. He made this a memorable trip!

Nice, short trail worth stopping at if youre in the park already. Feels like Everglades in a nutshell.

Great place for a close experience of the glades . restrooms available and store.

This is my Favorite weekend hang out; the Anhinga trail and along the Flamingo road is the best part of my hometown Miami. All year round I never have a boring day in the everglades, the beauty of the everglades and nature keeps me holding on in this place. This is my place for photography and get away time. Florida does not have mountains but we have the largest swamp/wetlands in the United states and its awesome.

Clean air, quite place in the middle of the Everglades. A lot of fauna. I loved it. Cant wait to come back
