Article from _____: Now that the rain has started falling again in some places in Southwest Florida ― and rain will be falling consistently until early November (we call it Rainy Season) ― this is the optimal time for hikers who want to get wet. As in, water up to their knee caps. Here are five swamp hiking options in Southwest Florida: 1. The Fakahatchee Strand in Collier County is a popular spot for hiking in a natural environment.
Enjoy the fresh air and wildlife like songbirds.
2. The Janes Scenic Drive in Collier County offers several pull-offs for hiking the old logging roads and tram routes shaded by towering bald cypress and sunny ponds edged by alligator flags.
3. The Big Cypress Swamp in Lee County is a beautiful wetland where you can see alligators, "birds.".. and other animals up close.
4. The Audubon-run sanctuary in Cape Coral has 365 acres of mangrove fringe on the Caloosahatchee River where you can see a variety of birds and animals.
5. The Tamiami Trail in Collier County is a paved path that runs through a beautiful natural area. It's a great place to walk or bike... and you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the ocean.
