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.
Trails runs from Rattlesnake Hammock Rd at the south end to Radio Rd at the north end. Residential neighborhood backyards on either side. There is no shade, no bathrooms, and no water. Closest parking is the rear parking lot of the church on Rattlesnake. There is no parking at the Radio Rd entrance. Trail crosses Davis Blvd but there is a button activated light that stops traffic in both directions. Trail is good for walking, jogging, rollerblading, and biking. jogging, rollerblading, biking
About 2 of the 6 miles are decent for inline skating. The rest is tolerable, but it's in need of resurfacing.
Parking, water, and restrooms are available at the South Trailhead at 14608 Ben C Pratt Six Mile Cypress Parkway (the trailhead is shown on the map but parking, etc, are not indicated). On the Apple Maps app, put in “Daniel’s Buckingham Trail” to see the location of the Daniel’s Parkway dirt parking area. To cross Daniel’s Parkway go west to the first traffic light and use the crosswalk.
This trail is just past the West trail down the dirt road. Nice parking area, but we wrote our bikes all the way from the park entrance. 15.5 miles out and back. Rode down to the Fakahatchee Hilton! Sat on the dock and looked at all the gators swimming happily in their pond. Beautiful swamp area! We were in the middle of the drought so the trail was muddy and a few spots, but mainly dry. Met an experience hiker that said the west Trail was really lush and beautiful, but we ran out of time!
So many amazing trails! In-line skated the entire island and had fun using my skates to commute everywhere. I definitely recommend and will do it again ¿ trail quality was surprisingly pretty good and I loved the jungle atmosphere.
After getting down there and running Ding Darling trail we ended on the bake path the goes back up to where we parked. We then saw signs stating class 1 e-bike only. If you have a class 2 be aware that there are signs posted that you are not allowed to run the bike path. Was very disappointed as we don’t use the throttle on any bike trails and did not know this was going to be an issue.
Entered the trail on the north end where US441 intersects. Access gated across trail do not accommodate people riding bikes. Too narrow and sharp turn. Headed east and came to the Taylor Creek entrance. Had to get off the trail through a private trailer park and head east on the adjacent road over the bridge. Just past the bridge is a road to re-enter the trail but there is a locked gate completely blocking access. Went back to our start point and gave up.
Not too crowded, even on a beautiful day during the winter ”season.” They need to find a better way to cross Daniel’s Parkway. Maybe an overpass or underpass. You have to pedal to the nearest traffic light and use the pedestrian cross light. Adds at least 1/2 mile to trip. I suggest you start from the parking lot on the north side of Daniel’s Pkwy, and just skip the southern mile. You’ll still get a nice 10 mile ride.
I started riding my bike at the Six Mile Cypress parking lot. When I got to Daniel’s road, I didn’t know where the trail went so I turned left. Then, you start running into busy intersections & a shopping center at Tamiami Trail Rd (Hwy 41). I turned around & went back to my car. Looking at the map now, I see that the trail continues north, past Daniel’s road, which is pretty wide. Not sure where you cross at. I’ll give it another try.
Okeechobee Trail wasNice Enough for Skates,Needs Porta Potties ...Bathroom has No Light,and NO Toilet Seat.SHAMEFUL.
