This trail takes visitors around and on top of the Portavant Temple Mound, the largest Native American Temple Mound in Southwest Florida. The trail is partially wheelchair accessible, with a ramp that leads to the top of the main mound. The trail also consists of a few small sets of stairs and inclines. The site dates back hundreds of years and has been the home to multiple residents.
A gem of a little trail with fascinating history as well as beautiful waterfront and forest scenery. There's a little under a mile worth of trail around the mound; be sure to take it all in.
