Shingle Creek Trailhead

What an amazing trail. So many creature sightings along the walk (alligators, snakes, turtles, lizards, and a variety of birds). The trail starts out in the shade and extends into an open grassy area. There are a couple picnic tables along the shaded part of the trail which is wheelchair accessible. Watch out for the odd cyclists who will force you off the path

A great place for walking, jogging, or cycling. Please take care of nature—Mother Earth thanks you. The most direct access is through the area behind Hunter's Creek Middle School.

Went hiking at this gem. My suggestion is do NOT go walking in the power line areas to the island loop, there is NO shade at all and there’s really nothing to see in the island loop but a bunch of tall grass. Bring your own water too. I recommend staying in the shaded areas instead of walking towards the power line area. Dog friendly here too.

Awesome place for a walk with your dog, a bike ride, or a place for people who don’t walk well to be in the swamps / everglades in an instant. Nice bathrooms - no rentals or food but simple paths with lovely places to sit or have a picnic! FREE FUN

This trail is absolutely gorgeous and well-shaded by the tall trees. It starts with a boardwalk, then has some regular walking paths and bridges. The scenery with the sun peeking through the trees is really magical. When you get there, there is plenty of parking near the trailhead behind Hunter’s Creek Middle School. The trail was very easy to find, but that entrance does not open until 4:30pm during weekdays, so keep that in mind. There were pretty purple water hyacinths blooming on the creek. We saw a woodpecker, an armadillo, an egret, some turtles, a medium-sized black snake, squirrels, cypress trees, ferns, and so many little lizards. We took a right at the fork in the road and walked the trail until we reached the power lines, which are about 0.5 miles from the start of the trail. Then we walked back to the fork and went the other direction for 10-15 minutes. Even in a relatively short distance, we got to see so much! I would definitely recommend this hike for anyone looking to enjoy nature and take some cool photos. If you have the time, walk slowly and keep an eye out for animals!
