Embark on a touring bicycle adventure along the L-40 Levee Trail, a moderate 26.5-mile (42.6 km) route that takes about 3 hours and 31 minutes to complete. With only 8 feet (3 metres) of elevation gain, this trail offers a generally flat ride through the heart of the Everglades. As you cycle, you will experience expansive views of sawgrass prairies, wetlands, and canals, providing an immersive natural escape.
When planning your visit, be aware that the L-40 Levee Trail offers no shade or shelter, so you should bring plenty of water and sun protection. The trail's unpaved surface of hard-packed sand and shell rock means hybrid sport tires or off-road tires are recommended for a smoother ride. You might also encounter alligators sunning themselves on the levee; simply wait patiently for them to move.
This route is located within the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, offering a unique opportunity to connect with Florida's diverse ecosystem. The elevated path provides a quiet escape where you can spot over 250 species of birds and alligators in their natural habitat. Listen for the sounds of nature surrounding you, especially along the Service Road section of the refuge.
