Swamp Walk
Conditions are near perfect for guided swamp walks in Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. According to Patrick Higgins, vice president of the Friends of Fakahatchee: “The water is high, clear, and moving beautifully.”
Higgins, a certified interpretive guide has a combined degree in Biology and Environmental Science, has earned rave reviews on Tripadvisor as a Fakahatchee swamp walk leader. He leads a three-hour combination tram tour and swamp walk on Feb. 16 and 23 and March 1 and 8. The fee is $60. The six-hour Original Fakahatchee Swamp Walk will be held on Feb. 11, 27, and March 10, 17, and 22. The Original Fakahatchee Swamp walk is $80 for adults and $60 for kids 12 to 18 years of age.
