CREW Cypress Dome Trails

https://crewtrust.org/cypress-dome-trails/ The CREW Cypress Dome Trails (also known as Gate 5) offer six miles of well-marked loop trails through pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, wet prairie, popash slough, and two beautiful cypress domes. Trails are flat grass/sand ground level and seasonally wet in low spots. This trail also connects to Caracara Prairie Preserve which is owned and maintained by Conservation Collier. Trail maps are located at the trailhead. One port-a-potty is available near the trailhead. No buildings or running water. No trash cans. Benches are located along trails, picnic tables are in and near the campsite.

From imokalee Rd in Naples.. i would take 75 North to corkscrew Rd, turn right (east) and drive for quite a while. Watch for brown park sign entrance to park will be on the right .There are 2 separate CREW parks on that road, one is several miles after the other. You can see a change in the vegetation as the sea level is slightly different. There is s third CREW park that is in Naples called Bird Rookery, beautiful and teaming with Gators on the walking trail. It is like 11 miles of walking trail.. seen Hawks, bear, deer, snakes, turtles, otters, raccoons, armadillo, every day different. Don't take dogs to this one. Beautiful but be mindful of the danger .. check their web page before going as sometimes they close it for safety reasons. This one go east on immokalee rd heading toward immokakee.. its a few miles on left before corkscrew sanctuary.. go to website for address

Dogs are on allowed on the trails. However, because of the presence of alligators at the Bird Rookery Swamp Trail, walking dogs at Bird Rookery Swamp is discouraged.
