Blackwater
River/Royal Palm Hammock Creek Canoe Trail
The
Blackwater River/Royal Palm Hammock Creek Canoe Trail is
officially designated as part of Florida’s Statewide
System of Greenways and Trails. This loop trail takes visitors
through Collier-Seminole State Park. The pristine tropical
habitats are characteristic of the Everglades region. The
trail passes through hardwood hammocks that contain the
rare Florida royal palm, as well as through large stands
of white mangroves, and salt marshes. A wide variety of
wildlife is found here including osprey, wood stork, brown
pelican, black bear, and the Florida panther. This is a
good beginner’s trail and it will give you a glimpse
of how this habitat appeared a thousand years ago.
