Oasis TRU

Oasis TRU is a moderate out-and-back hike in Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida, managed by the National Park Service. The route is 14.4 miles long, and it starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with the low point at 9 feet and the high point at 12 feet. There is no elevation gain, so the walk is measured in distance rather than climb. The most comfortable months for a visit are the cooler, drier stretch from November through March. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 80 to 83°F and only five to seven wet days a month, while summer brings highs in the low 90s and rain on 17 to 19 days a month. The hike is free to do, and the preserve is open year-round. Several other routes lie within a few miles, including Lost Dog 2, Boot Hill West and Poppenhager, and the Florida National Scenic Trail - Southern Region.
