J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area
J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area is in the transitional zone between the uplands of central Florida and the nearly level Everglades. The most extensive natural communities on Corbett are pine flatwoods, freshwater marshes, wet prairies, and cypress sloughs and domes. Hammocks are found in isolated locations throughout Corbett.
In addition to deer, turkey and feral hogs that draw human hunters, Corbett provides habitat for many other types of wildlife, including the Bachman’s sparrow and federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The 3,000-acre sawgrass marsh is habitat for the endangered snail kite. Up to 20 pairs of sandhill cranes nest on Corbett during fall and winter.

Hungryland Trail – J, W, Corbett Wildlife Management Area
Hungryland Trail – J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area
This hike was taken on December 1st 2017
The J.W. Corbett Wildlife management area is one of the last large tracks of natural Florida left in Palm Beach County. Although it is a part of the Everglades Water shed, canals and development have isolated much of the land. You can still find a mixture of pineland, marsh and swamp throughout the area. Because Corbett is a multiuse area, hunting is allowed during various seasons. Be careful when hiking trails, and make sure to check with the hunting calendar. The Hungryland trail and boardwalk is within the Everglades Youth Conservation Camp. This area is set aside for educational programs run by Florida Fish and Wilde Life. Use the link below for more information on booking the youth camp for groups and programs… it is well worth it.

Ocean To Lake Trail 2019
The annual Ocean To Lake Trail section hike hosted by the Florida Trail Association - Loxahatchee chapter. Six days of hiking through some premier South Florida wilderness areas. The trail runs for approximately 63 miles, west from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee where it ends at the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) trailhead, which is approximately two and a half miles south of Port Mayaca. The trail starts at the ocean, entering Jonathan Dickinson State Park at US 1, traveling through the park, Palm Beach County Natural Areas, Corbett Wildlife Management Area and Dupuis Management Area, and ends at the lake. The ecosystems on this beautiful trail change approximately every mile, from ancient sand dunes with scrub oak and sand pine to pine flat woods, palmetto and oak hammocks, cypress swamp and wet prairies. The temperature during this years hike topped 85 degrees with very high humidity. about 15-20 miles of this years hike was under water; average depth was ankle to knee deep!

Florida Trail - 2012 Ocean to Lake Hike
Ocean to Lake Trail pt 4
I participated in the annual Ocean to Lake Trail hike hosted by the Loxahatchee chapter of the Florida Trail Association. The hike spans southeastern Florida from Lake Okeehobee to Hobe Sound Beach and is approximately 63 miles long. It was an unusually hot 80+ degree February. This is a notoriously wet hike, but we were lucky with many dry sections. The deepest water I encountered was only knee deep. The trail meanders through several wildlife management areas, pine forests, cypress strands, canal banks, county and state parks. The Loxahatchee chapter has done an amazing job with maintaining such a difficult trail.

Ocean To Lake Hiking Trail - 24h attempt
The Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail is a 63 mile spur off of the Florida National Scenic Trail. It connects to Lake Okeechobee at the NENA/LOST (Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail) trailhead 1 mile south of the Port Mayaca lock and dam on the east side of Lake O. It travels through some really incredible natural areas in Palm Beach County and Martin county, ending at the Hobe Sound public beach. A really amazing hike... if done in 4/5 days.
This was an attempt at doing the 63 miles in 24 hours. It's very doable, but due to the sheer amount of water on the trail, it wasn't in the cards this time. It was tough to call it quits as my body was still feeling so good.
