Everglades Coast to Coast
« on: November 14, 2024, 10:59:58 am »
I also posted this in the South Atlantic forum - if that's nor permitted, holler at me.  ;D

I'm pedaling the Southern Tier next year

and plan to extend the route by going down the gulf coast to maybe Naples. I'll cross over to somewhere on the Ocean coast and pedal up to Jupiter where I'll finish.

??? Can anyone recommend a good route through the everglades???

My goal is to pedal through as much nature as possible - see some wild life, etc.

However, I'm on a recumbent trike, so prefer pavement. Dirt roads are ehhh, ok. Deep gravel farm-type roads, not so good. Single (or double) track is very difficult unless very short distances (a few miles, maybe)

I'm open to all suggestions.  THANKS!

Tamiami Trail. No swimming. DO NOT CAMP NEXT TO PONDS, LAKES OR CANALS.

Panthers, bears, coons, coyotes, pythons, mosquitoes and the alligators. The gators live in the fresh and brackish-water lakes, ponds, canals and drainage ditches. Other animals go to these watering holes to drink. Keep your own position on the food chain, not theirs.
