At Shark Valley Loop Road, visitors can walk, bike, or take a narrated tram ride along a 15-mile trail through Shark River Slough. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to observe wildlife up close. Halfway through the loop, a 70-foot observation tower offers panoramic views of the sawgrass marsh, resembling what this area looked like over 300 years ago. Vehicles are not permitted on the trail, and hours of operation vary seasonally.
