Swampwalk and Hike in the Big Cypress National Preserve Addition Lands. Sierra hikes in the beautiful Addition Lands of Big Cypress continue with about 5 - 6 miles of walking through mixed terrain. Depending on how much rainfall we've had, you'll probably get your feet wet. But you'll also have lots of fun experiencing a true wilderness area in Broward's backyard. Rated moderate difficulty.

Most outings are geared for novices: all are open to the public on a space available basis. Outings rating system is as follows: "Easy" includes activities that the average healthy individual can do and which do not require any specific expertise or physical condition. "Moderate" includes activities that require some experience and better than average physical condition. "Strenuous" indicates activities that require both significant, specific outdoor experience and excellent physical condition. Group size limits are set to preserve the areas we visit and the experience we seek. We follow the minimum impact motto "Take only pictures; leave only footprints".
