Apoxee Wilderness Trail GoPro Trail Run (Long)
I decided to bring the GoPro along on my trail run at Apoxee Wilderness Trail in West Palm Beach, Florida. The video is a bit long (and probably a little boring) but it shows the majority of what you will be seeing on this trail. During this time of the year (late Summer), parts of it are still a little flooded or really muddy, which makes it even more fun in my opinion. I saw a few alligators and I wasn't even on the lookout for them, so they are probably all over the place! I brought a Camelbak along with me for hydration and I ran in Vibram Fivefingers Trek Sports, which are absolutely perfect for this kind of environment. This trail is also great for hiking and biking.

I went to Grassy Waters Preserve in south Florida last week. (7/20/2013) I shot alligator photos and videos there...
The Florida Everglades is closer than one might think. This habitat accounts for nearly half of the landmass of the City of West Palm Beach, known as Grassy Waters Preserve (GWP). GWP also serves as your community conservation center. GWP offers unique educational and guided recreational opportunities on the edge of the vast, 20-square-mile wetlands resource. The preserve was historically the headwaters of the Everglades system. It is the City of West Palm Beach's Water Catchment Area.
Managed by the City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities Department, GWP provides fresh drinking water to over 130,000 people in West Palm Beach, the Town of Palm Beach, Town of South Palm Beach, and surrounding areas. The preserve includes nature center pavilions, meandering boardwalk trails, hiking, canoeing, programs, entertainment, and more!
Included in GWP's educational programs is Apoxee Park. Apoxee Park, located to the southeast of GWP, is a natural water reclamation area that will provide an average of eight million gallons of water per day. Apoxee, which means Beyond Tomorrow in the Miccosukee language, represents one of a series of planned parks within the region's urban wilderness parks system, set aside for preservation and public enjoyment.
The City designed GWP with a special vision: to encourage water conservation through enjoyable, nature-based education and creative activities for all ages!

(Wikipedia) Alligators are native only to the United States and China.[citation needed]
American alligators are found in the southeast United States: all of Florida and Louisiana, the southern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, coastal South and North Carolina, Eastern Texas, the southeast corner of Oklahoma and the southern tip of Arkansas. According to the 2005 Scholastic Book of World Records, Louisiana is the state with the largest alligator population.[6] The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana, with over a million alligators in each state. Southern Florida is the only place where both alligators and crocodiles live side by side.[citation needed]
American alligators live in freshwater environments, such as ponds, marshes, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and swamps, as well as in brackish environments.[7] When they construct gator holes in the wetlands, they increase plant diversity and also provide habitat for other animals during drought periods.[8] They are therefore considered an important species for maintaining ecological diversity in wetlands.[9] Further west, in Louisiana, heavy grazing by nutria and muskrat are causing severe damage to coastal wetlands. Large alligators feed extensively on nutria, and provide a vital ecological service by reducing nutria numbers.[10]
The Chinese alligator currently is found only in the Yangtze River valley[citation needed] and is extremely endangered, with only a few dozen believed to be left in the wild. Indeed, far more Chinese alligators live in zoos around the world than can be found in the wild. Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in southern Louisiana has several in captivity in an attempt to preserve the species. Miami MetroZoo in Florida also has a breeding pair of Chinese alligators. More info @
