Lard Can Campground
Lard Can Campground
Lard Can is a rest stop campsite within Everglades National Park accessible via the Hells Bay Canoe Trail, featuring a short dock, picnic table, vault toilet, and benches.
The site sits on relatively solid ground (compared to surrounding areas) and serves as a convenient break point for paddlers navigating the mangrove channels between the trail head and interior bay campsites.
Note that the ground is soft and marshy—not suitable for extended camping—making it best used as a day-use rest area during multi-day paddling trips.
