The Florida Trail runs through the South Florida Water Management District and leaves hikers quite exposed. This has little shade, so bring sun protection. Water from the canals is not recommended for drinking, so hikers rely on pre-arranged water caches. Despite the arid feel, this area offers a unique wildlife opportunity. During the spring months, flamingos have been spotted in Stormwater Treatment Area 2 (STA-2).
