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.
