The Jetty Trail at Biscayne National Park’s Dante Fascell Visitor Center
There are five trails within Biscayne National Park, though calling them “hiking” trails is probably giving them more credit than they deserve. Four are a mile or less in length, while the longest, the 7-mile, one-way Spite Highway Trail on Elliott Key, runs down the middle of the island and the scenery never changes. The Jetty Trail on the mainland at the Dante Fascell Visitor Center is probably the most scenic, while the ones on the islands simply offer a mild diversion from activities such as swimming, fishing, camping, and drinking beer. All island trails are mosquito infested even during the winter months.
