Description:
The West main Trail is located in Florida's Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. The "strand" is a linear swamp forest, shaped by the flow of water over millennia. The trail passes through a section of the strand's variety of habitats, including bald cypress stands, swamps and prairies.

Look for some of the orchid (44 natives) and bromeliad species (14 natives) as you walk the trail. You may also spot wildlife such as a rare Florida panther or the more common white-tailed deer. Black bears, eastern indigo snakes, Everglades minks and diamondback terrapins also live here, as do many migrant and resident bird species.

There is a fee to enter the park.
