Confirmed from SWA Greenway Trail System South Entrance'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.
Gravel-bike-friendly area with long paths and shorter trails for spotting gators, birds and other wildlife.

“This gorgeous and very expansive natura area is a place you can spend hours of your time observing wildlife, waterscapes and different types of greenery.”
“If you like to walk and just get out of the house without Shopping or restaurants , this is a great place to run or walk .”
Love going on walks here to observe the nature. Some of the trails get pretty close to the water so I always feel the need to be on high alert of my surroundings. Have had some incredible views of alligators, and I recommend some binoculars to see them from a safe distance!
This gorgeous and very expansive natura area is a place you can spend hours of your time observing wildlife, waterscapes and different types of greenery. There's a long path where many people bike. Several different short trails which all connect to the longer path.
Great place to see BIG GATORS close up and personal ....All along the Path towards the waste treatment plant then to the Ibis colony. Be alert and don't be stupid.
The trails are wonderful to hike or ride. Tons of wildlife. I've seen bobcats, deer, otters, raccoons, alligators and every wading bird including rosette spoonbills.
