Okeechobee Trail wasNice Enough for Skates,Needs Porta Potties ...Bathroom has No Light,and NO Toilet Seat.SHAMEFUL.
We parked on the north side of the Port Myaca dam and biked seven miles traveling north on the ridge of Lake Okeechobee. Then, we biked back. It was a wonderful ride on the paved trail. We saw one alligator, three racoons, caterpillars, birds and a beautiful view. We loved it and look forward to biking there again soon!
I love the trail, but as an in-line rollerblader, it is VERY rough, uneven and dangerous at points. It definitely needs repaving ASAP!
half of the paths listed here are more similar to sidewalks than trials. However it’s safe. and is paved with mostly smooth asphalt.
the trial is great if your walking, however if your on a bike you constantly have to make narrow passes. and sometimes swerve into the grass to avoid other cyclists’s. you also have to cross busy intersections every few miles, and you have to walk your bike to get across safely.
the intersections are very busy, and you have to constantly watch out for cars turning right. the actual trial itself is very wide, however the crossings ruin it for me.
This is a great trial that actually goes all the way to 21st street so the trail is much longer than states here. And is completely pathed with little to no traffic all times of the day!
You can’t park at the high school, but you can park at University Commons Shopping Center, which is at the corner of NW 15th Ave. and Glades Rd. Walk on the FAU side of Glades Rd. The path is wider, it’s farther away from the road, and it has less driveways to cross.
Fern Nature Center is a real, off road trail (with some big intersections but that’s Florida) going west follows a canal on an 8-10 ft concrete path in very good condition. Pleasant views and will do again. Going east however is just an amalgam of sidewalks and unprotected bike lanes on busy roads that aren’t largely even pleasant to drive on.
