Guided Hike: National Trails Day

Join us for an early morning adventure at Se7en Wetlands! On Saturday, June 1st, we'll be celebrating National Trails Day by enjoying the beautiful trails of Se7en Wetlands.

This guided hike starts earlier than usual to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures. We'll be trekking about 2 miles on an out and back hike to the Wetland 5 Boardwalk, learning about Se7en Wetlands and Central Florida wildlife along the way. There is very little shade along the trail - please bring sun protection and water!

This hike is open to all ages, but all participants must register and all participants must be able to hike 2 miles at on hard-packed, uneven, earthen trails.
