Allapattah Flats natural area is a multiple use area with a hiking and bike trail. The word, Allapattah, comes from the Seminole Indian word for alligator. The area is mostly flat scrub and was dry when we placed the cache. There are lots of open pasture that once was wet flat-woods until it was drained decades ago for cattle grazing. These open areas are targeted for extensive restoration by filling in the old drainage ditches to bring back the wetland vegetation and by replanting thousands of pines. An equestrian trail is nearby. You can bike/hike to the cache along a foot trail off to the west of the gravel road. If you follow the road there is a primitive camping area about 2 ½ miles in. Be advised that the area is open to small game hunting during season and cattle free graze the area so watch your step.
