I head out to this gravel road that sits atop the levee that contains a seemingly endless river of grass of the Everglades when I want to decompress and just run without any worldly distractions. Except for the occasional bird or even deer crossing your path, this is a very peaceful stress-free setting. The ground can get a little uneven at times but overall you can set a nice pace on this path. I enjoy this run just as the sun starts to set. In the summer months, this can be quite the colorful spectacle in the sky after those famous Miami thunderstorms. You can park along the canal road and just run north for miles on end. There aren’t any bathrooms or water fountains so make sure you bring your own support. You also have the option of the trail that runs south on the south side of Tamiami Trail. Be on the lookout for some Alligators, too!
