St. Jude Nature Trail is the jewel of the St. James Creek Preserve.
It is an approximate one-mile round-trip trail through flatlands
and a mangrove forest. The vegetation being restored is native to
this area. The trail is built on an old roadbed constructed several
decades ago by the St. Jude Harbor Corporation as part of an
"intended" St. Jude Parkway. The parkway was to be a boulevard
lined with shopping centers and restaurants leading to a skybridge
connecting Pine Island with the southern end of the Sanibel
Causeway. Fortunately, the permits were withdrawn before further
damage to the mangroves occurred. One would have no idea that this
was ever planned. The view at the end of the trail is very special,
as is the boardwalk. The carved names are all supporters of the
Calusa Land Trust which owns and preserves the surrounding
land.

Hurricane Charley took the original canister, but a new one is in
place. The trail is in great shape. The hurricane caused the cache
site to be a bit askew, so it has been moved about 30 feet away.
The coordinates have been revised to reflect the new
position.
