Six Mile Cypress Slough North Review - Ft. Myers, Florida
Six Mile Cypress Slough North is one of many preserves included in Lee County Florida's Conservation 20/20 program. With 1,219 acres of pine flatwoods, oak hammocks and cypress swamps to explore, a good sampling of typical Florida flora can be explored. Approximately 2.5 miles of marked hiking trail and an additional 5 miles of combined use trails are available. The trail blazes are galvanized fence posts with red bands for hiking and yellow bands for equestrian / combined use. Take a copy of the trail map and a good GPS program to help with navigation. The next trail marker is not always visible and there are many areas without an obvious trail. Expect about a third of the hiking trail to be covered with ankle deep water during the wet season May through October. Our adventure took place in late September and as you can see, much of the trail was covered with water. Overall this location provides a good little adventure that can be complete in a couple of hours and isn't so big that you can find your way out if you lose track of the trail markers.
