Discover this park

Markham Park sits right at the edge of the Everglades, and it packs an unusual mix into 669 acres: mountain bike trails, the Fox Observatory for stargazing, a full campground, a model airplane field, boat and fishing access, and a dog park locals call Barkham. It is less a single park than a whole outdoor recreation complex — a fitting last stop, with real wilderness starting just past the treeline.

Before you go

Park names, locations, amenities and other public information are provided for informational and navigational purposes. Park information may change. Verify current hours, closures, fees and rules with the applicable park authority before visiting.

Check current weather and park conditions before starting. South Florida weather changes quickly — no stamp, XP or badge is worth continuing in unsafe conditions.

You decide what is safe for you and your group. Follow posted park rules, closures and staff instructions. Children stay with a responsible adult. Never enter closed or restricted areas to finish a quest.
