The route
- Distance: about 3.0 miles.
- Terrain: park paths with dense vegetation; the park also has mountain-bike trails, so stay on the running and walking paths.
- Wildlife: keep an eye out for birds and manatees near the water.
Tips
- State park entry fees apply; check hours before you go.
- Bug spray helps near the mangroves.
- Great place for a cooldown paddle after your run.
