Hike Castle Windy Trail
Canaveral National Seashore
Castle Windy Trail is located in Canaveral National Seashore's Apollo Beach. Park at beach parking area number three to access the trail. The trail is on the west side of the road and leads a half mile to Mosquito Lagoon. Be aware there are mosquitoes on the trail most of the year. Bring water and mosquito repellent.
This trail is an easy half-mile walk through a maritime hammock to Castle Windy, a Timucuan mound of discarded shells on the shore of Mosquito Lagoon. The mound is about 1,000 years old. Please help us preserve this important remnant from a former civilization. Do not climb on it or in any other way disturb the mound. April through October, be ready for mosquitos on your walk!
