• Loop Road to Highway 41 - roughly mile 8.3 one way. Begins (or ends) at the Loop Road roughly mile 13 from its east side on Highway 41. The other end is across the highway from the Oasis Visitor Center. Maps are available on the Florida Trail Association webpage [https://, or call the visitor center for detailed directions. The trail winds through dwarf cypress and prairies and crosses through Robert's Lake Strand. It is well marked and of easy to moderate difficulty in the winter season, but knee to waist deep in water during the rainy season. This part of the trail is an easy and well-marked way to take a short walk into the Preserve to get that "out in the middle of nowhere" feeling. Sometimes the only sounds you hear are wind and the occasional jet flying over.
• Highway 41 to Interstate 75 - roughly mile 28 one way. Trailheads are located on Highway 41 near Big Cypress Visitor Center and on Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley) at the rest area at mile marker 63.

During the dry season and there is no water available on this entire route. You must carry all water! This walk is not for the casual hiker. It is not heavily marked and vegetation grows over it during the rainy season when there is little foot traffic.
• Interstate 75 to Preserve North Boundary - roughly mile 8 one way. This section of trail follows Nobles Grade, an old oil road, through hardwood, prairie and pinelands. Beyond the Preserve Boundary the trail is limited to a small number of hikers per month who are members of the Florida Trail Association traveling through the Seminole Reservation.
