Ocean to Lake Trail: DuPuis Main Grade Road to Western edge

Pictures and videos of hikes exploring the Ocean to Lake Trail in the DuPuis section

Parking off the Main Grade Road just past the trail crossing, hiking West from towards the edge of DuPuis (and back)

This is a great short hike (in and back around 2 miles) for anyone who wants to experience the Ocean to Lake Trail without hiking long miles. There are tall pines to provide some shade and benches at the end for resting.

DuPuis can be a little soggy after heavy rains and in the wet season.

Highlights of this hike were the Rein Toothpetal Orchids adn seeing a gator in the watering hole.

Ocean to Lake Trail: LOST/NENA Trailhead to Western edge of DuPuis

Pictures and videos of hikes exploring the Ocean to Lake Trail in the DuPuis section

Parking at the LOST/NENA Trailhead on US 98, hiking East from Lake Okeechobee towards DuPuis (and back)

The majority of this section of the Ocean to Lake Trail hike is “road walk” adjacent to farmland. While it was not a main road, it was dirt and gravel and I was passed by many large dump trucks.

This section of the Ocean to Lake Trail is full sun until you enter DuPuis.
