Hike #34: 52 Hike Challenge: Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, Fort Myers. Just about anyone would enjoy strolling leisurely along the 1.2-mile boardwalk at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve. It’s a fascinating glimpse of a cypress slough (pronounced “sloo”) and the premises also include an Interpretive Center. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any wildlife this time out, but I will definitely be back! Distance: 1.2 miles.
