Embark on the Conservation Levee Greenway Loop for a touring cycling adventure through the unique landscape of the Everglades. This moderate route spans 31.3 miles (50.4 km) with a minimal elevation gain of just 13 feet (4 metres), making it a relatively flat ride. You can expect to complete the loop in about 4 hours and 28 minutes, cycling past wide-open views and canals where you might spot alligators and various bird species. The experience offers classic Everglades scenery, with sunsets over the levee being a particular highlight.
When planning your visit, remember that the route offers no shade, so it's crucial to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and bug spray. The trail surface is primarily flat double-track gravel and stone, but some sections can be rougher, so fat tires or a mountain bike are recommended for comfort. You can access the trail from several points, including Markham Park and Sawgrass Recreation Park, making it convenient to start your journey.
This loop provides a distinct opportunity to explore the vast natural landscape of the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area. While much of the ride immerses you in nature, be aware that some parts run parallel to highways, which can introduce occasional road noise. The trail's unique setting allows you to connect with the region's rich ecosystem, offering a different perspective on Florida's renowned wetlands.
