Such a fun trail to skate. The Rickenbacker itself is a unique challenge particularly in controlling speed but also winding through the beautiful trails in Key Biscayne/Big Baggs is so much fun. Cannot recommend enough for a good skater but also remember protective gear !
Quad skated the entire trail and it’s fine. There’s roots but as long as you can manage that it’s not too bad. There’s roots quality on the south end is not too great but it’s short. The north end is more scenic than the south end. The biggest pro was that it was never too crowded. Mainly runners and a few bikes. Pathway is narrow but manageable for skaters.
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.
Although there is a green bike lane, you can also use trail that is separated from cars. Nice trail, there is parking at Commodore Trail north-end trailhead / Alice Wainwright park. OpenSeas cafe had nice Spanish tapas and grilled seafood.
Pavement quality is atrocious. I guess its OK for jogging but pretty bad for bikes. There is a gravel part that goes to water. Pretty sad state of the trail considering locals live in 7-8 figure houses, jog on it and yet don't care.
This trail is in a school area zone so even if there is a road next to it the cars go slowly and are not loud. The canal is beautiful and really well taken care of, with local animals on the side as birds, iguanas and fish. The best parking I found is in the Pinecrest Garden when open
There are only small sections of this advertised trail that are dedicated and away from traffic. Shared lanes are tight and very dangerous. We were disappointed to find out that the dedicated bike bridge, at 7 mile bridge stops at pigeon key. There are some portions of pave bike trail throughout key Largo that are off the road and offer a little buffer. I would not recommend segments that are shared with car traffic. This is not a true, 106 mile trail.
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.
Just back from it, very clean and peaceful. I recommend it. Only thing is the parking… we parked by international mall and crossed the street by rooms to go. The entrance is by the train tracks on 107.
Very disappointing. We came to ride but is incredibly dangerous. Many multi use bridges across the ocean are closed as they are not being maintained. Therefore bikers must bike on the overseas highway where shoulders are narrow. Several places the biker must actually cross the highway which is extremely busy and dangerous.
The trail was fun to go on. I was on foot and I enjoyed the experience of viewing different critters, plant life, and scattered infrastructure. I parked at the Mcdonalds a few blocks next to the entrance and walked back to with no issues. Its near cars but they're far enough that you don't get bothered. Its not too badly maintained, dead branches tend to fall on the path as its meant for bicycles and they don't get the opportunity to kick them aside. For those who have joint pain, the grass on the side of the asphalt path is fine to walk on for most of the trail.
