The wetland environment provides fresh water to West Palm Beach, South Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Island. Historically, the trail is essential to the Greater Everglades watershed and the headwaters of the Loxahatchee River's Northwest Fork. It remains a pristine remnant of the once-impenetrable Everglades system. The preserve is a patchwork of wetlands, tree islands, and forested hammocks home to diverse native animals. The hiking trail also includes common sightings, such as the wood stork, white ibis, great blue heron, white-tailed deer, otter, bobcat, and alligator.
