About

Sisal Pond is a freshwater borrow pit located about 15 miles from the park's main entrance, accessible from the main park road or via the connecting Long Pine Key trail network. It's a designated scenic and fishing spot rather than a hiking destination in its own right — a place to stop for freshwater fishing or a quiet look at the pond's wildlife.

It's an easy add-on for visitors already exploring the Long Pine Key area, rather than a standalone destination worth a special trip.
