Confirmed from Hogeye Walking Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Hogeye Walking Trail
“Beautiful peaceful walking path from Everglades to Edna's on the Green.”
“Lovely trail that traverses through some wooded, shaded areas with lots of birds and the occasional alligator on the ponds”
“Beautiful peaceful walking path from Everglades to Edna's on the Green.”
Busy in certain areas where carts are allowed. I’d like more signage as well, along the trail. Had fun, tho. Beauty of a day.
Beautiful peaceful walking path from Everglades to Edna's on the Green.
Contrary to one of the reviews, there are restrooms near Edna's On the Green. We like parking near there and starting the loop from that end. Our dogs love it, too! As people have said, lots of birds and we almost always spot at least one alligator! Dress for the weather - I like layers for when it is cooler.
I love this walking trail! There is plenty of nature (alligators, sand hill cranes, lakes, and Live Oak trees). The trail is about 2.5 miles all the way around. You can walk your dog here too or go for a run. If you get thirsty, Edna's Restaurant is right here with drinks and great lunch options.

“This is actually a paved path that meanders near a golf course so don’t expect a secluded walk in the woods.”
