HAND-VERIFIED TRAIL · BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK

Convoy Point Jetty Walk

0.8 miout-and-back

The only trail in the park you can reach without a boat, and the only one where leashed pets are legal — it runs on the grounds at Convoy Point, where pets are permitted. Ten interpretive stations start at the compass rose on the first floor of the Dante Fascell Visitor Center. Boardwalk and gravel the whole way, wheelchair accessible, with the bronze Fish Wall and a view across Biscayne Bay toward the Florida Keys.
