Great trail for walking, jogging, rollerblading, and biking. You can access from Golden Gate Parkway, behind the zoo parking, or from Baker Park. Public restrooms plus parking at all three entrance points. Trail is primarily asphalt with some boardwalks. Starting at Baker park to Golden Gate Blvd, including the loop at the zoo parking then back to Baker will give you a good 5 mile walk.

We have done a couple of full moon rides here as well as day rides. For full moon check with the park as they sometimes have the entrance opena nd sometimes don't. It is cooler, but it is buggier. Lots of things in the dark squak, hiss and move around, exhilerating!!! We used head lamps and brought water and lots of bug repellant.
Lots of crocodiles! Bring water as there are no refills anywhere on the trail. And sunscreen since there is no shade. I parked along the highway and walked my bike through the entrance. This way you don't have to wait in car line AND entrance costs cheaper without the car.
Located just inside the shark valley entrance to the Everglades. National park is a wonderful path that allows you to see wildlife along the way. The only caution is you must bring water, sunscreen and head cover. Hopefully you’re wearing a helmet ! This beautifully paved surface allows you to spot, alligators and crocodiles along the way. Halfway around the loop there is an observation tower with restroom facilities. The day we were there water was not operational, so make sure you bring extra water. Not a bad idea to bring a snack as there are no facilities available inside the park that sell beverages or food.
Nice peaceful ride to unwind after work ¿¿ very clean a couple benches along the way to stop ¿ and check your messages from my wife? Are you going to be home soon ¿¿¿
Arrow straight for 7 miles along a canal, watch for the wild life. Route back has curves but nothing crazy. Great ride, but bring water, No shade .
This is one of my favorite places to walk. Has a connection to the park which I love. There is also an outlet near the zoo.
Taking all the side parts of this paved/boardwalk trail, we got in 6 miles from Gordon River Greenway Park to the end where it dead ends into a regular street near another park. Great for a leisurely bike ride, not appropriate for going fast on bikes b/c of the winding path and pedestrians that have right of way. Very scenic.
Made a nice day trip out of this by going past the airport to Baker's park. From there a few blocks into Naples to Gulfshore Blvd and then north to Lowdermilk Park and had lunch and refreshments at Rita's there at the beachside pavillion. We reversed that course and made it a 14.5 mile round trip, but found later that if we would have went north from Lowdermilk towards Doctors Pass, we could have wound up just a couple blocks from the parking lot back at Gordon River Park. Also could have had some beach time at Lowdermilk if we had brought our swimwear! Very nice beach facility there. Highly recommended trip!
This is a great trail that gives you many options. You can do the boardwalk and loop back to parking lot about 3.5 miles. You can venture further and go watch the private jets take off at the nearby Naples Airport. Baker Park is two or three miles away and has many recreational facilities and activities. We went to Baker Park and then used the municipal bike lane straight to the Naples Beach. The homes along the city route were stunning. Round trip we went 12 miles and had a great time and stopped for lunch at the Naples Pub off 10 Street.
