Also known as the Northeast Everglades Natural Area or NENA, the Ocean to Lake Greenway spans from Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge in Hobe Sound across portions of Martin and Palm Beach Counties to Lake Okeechobee.
A mosaic of public lands make up this massive greenway, which offers a variety of trails for hiking, cycling, and equestrians. Of these, the Ocean-to-Lake Hiking Trail, part of the statewide Florida Trail, offers more than 60 miles of backpacking through tropical and soggy pine flatwoods habitats.
