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!
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.
Altho it runs by a canal, there are undulating curves which improves on the monotony of a linear path. I parked at the northern end, the totally charming Wellby Park (bathrooms by the field on west end and over the footbridge to the east end). There is a gate on the western side to access the N-S running bike trail (gate is not on the map). Trail switches and sides a couple of times and the major intersections are long and dreary
The train is in a calm location even if the road is very close by. What is also fascinating is the amount of animals you can see on the trail. All sort of birds, fishes and dogs
Portion from Everglades to Fern Forest is in very good shape. Easy traffic crossing. Back and forth 24 Km
