C-13 Canal Greenway Trail offers a paved, flat, and open route from the outskirts of Oakland Park through Lauderdale Lakes. From NW 31st Avenue to US Highway 441 (State Road 7), it parallels the northern bank of the canal on one side and backyards on the other.
At US Highway 441, the trail crosses the canal and follows its southern bank to the Florida Turnpike. Just west of that crossing is Vincent Torres Memorial Park, which offers fields for a variety of sports.
Parking is available at Vincent Torres Memorial Park (4331 NW 36th Street).
I ride this trail frequently and like to plan rides around riding a portion of this trail. There is even lighting along some parts of the trail which is nice in the evenings. You will see plenty of people walking on the trail.
My wife and I really enjoyed walking this short walk. It was great seeing all the wild life. The people along the way were extremely friendly. They said more than just hi.
The large iguanas were the highlights.
The only thing missing was a few benches for people could sit and enjoy the scenery and the enjoy the great Florida weather in December.
