Hiking Trails in Biscayne
As Biscayne National Park is almost entirely underwater, there is not much in the way of hiking trails to choose from. However, a couple of short walks can be found. Distances given below are total, roundtrip distances unless otherwise stated. Difficulties are only a general guideline, for an adult in good condition, and do not take into account trail length.
Boca Chita Key
- Trail Length: 0.5 mile loop
- Trail Difficulty: Easy
- Trail Traffic: Light
- Finding the Trailhead: On Boca Chita Key; a boat is required to reach the island.
The Hike: This trail is a short loop around the part of Boca Chita Key away from the campground and dock. It leads through the vegetation, at times providing good views of the coastline.
Convoy Point
