    Peace, tranquility, nature and wildlife, dirt roads, sweat, and amazing sunsets! One stop shop with…read moreSawgrass Trailhead at Atlantic Blvd. Mainly known likely for the best sunsets in Broward as it gets jammed packed for sunset lovers. Love the upgraded parking and road to accommodate more cars compared to the past. But you must come for the sunset, and stay for the peaceful long walks and all that nature has to offer. Great spot to also go for a hike/walk, bike the dirt roads, and enjoy nature with occasional croc sitings and evens Everglades deers. Enjoy a boat passing by or even an airboat. Nice outdoor trail that you must experience and hike at least once. Easily assessable, peaceful, picturesque views, amazing sunsets, and an abundance of nature all sure won't disappoint.

People bring their chairs and wait to view the sky and watch the sunset in silence. This Trail is quiet and also perfect for bikers and runners. People also bring their dogs for a nice walk. Trail is home to many species of birds and you can spot alligators and snakes if you get lucky. Wide open area where fishing is allowed. You can see people fishing from their boats as well as near the canal. I enjoy coming here whenever I want to enjoy nature and do my meditation walk. It provides me with a sense of calmness and tranquility. There is parking but try to get there early before Sunset time as it can get crowded and parking is limited. Bring bug spray as there may be mosquitos in the area.

With no cars, they are typically a great place to enjoy nature and spot wildlife. The Cypress Creek Greenway is 16.5 miles from the everglades to the ocean. The trail was mainly constructed between 2009 and 2012 and it is the longest stretch of paved recreational path in Broward County. The segment closest to where I live runs from Fern Forest Nature Center to 441. The entirety of the trail runs between Lyons Rd. and Sanibel Dr., just east of Sawgrass Expressway. The trail is asphalt and concrete making it ideal for walking, running, and biking. For three miles of the trail it parallels Southgate Boulevard on one side and the C-14 Canal on the other. While walking the greenway today I spotted wading birds and an Osprey diving for fish. The trail used to end at Fern forest but another segment was recently added that takes it to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately the new segment of the trail is not directly linked to the old section. Instead you have to travel along the bike lane on Lyons Road 1.6 miles to McNab road before reconnecting to the Cypress Creek Greenway. Bike travel on Lyons road can be potentially dangerous. On the western end of the trail parking is available in Tamarac at Tephford Park Playground and the Gary B. Jones Park for People and Pups. On the east end of the trail parking is available at the end of Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano Beach. There is also parking at Fern Forest nature Center. One thing to note is that the greenway does not have any shade so it is best in the cooler months. There are a few benches along the way and it passes the Margate Boat Ramp. I had an enjoyable time looking for birds and walking off some of the turkey day dinner today. With the dip in temperature, this is a a fun trail to come out and explore.

    There is a lot of history here at this 15 acre preserve. The land is currently owned by EEL, the…read moreDepartment of Environmentally Endangered Lands. The preserve is named after Hattie Bauer a school teacher, whose pioneer family homesteaded in the early 1900's. Hattie passed away in 1961. The land became a private farm in 1922 and a year later it was sold to Lee Arthur Fennell who turned it into one of Miami's first roadside attractions, Fennell's Orchid Jungle which opened in 1923.. Four generations of the Fennell family occupied the land for 70 years until 1992 when Hurricane Andrew destroyed the attraction. Fortunately for the Fennell family their luck changed when they won several million dollars in the lottery. Shortly after that the land was was purchased by the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and Florida Communities Trust who turned it into a preserve. In 1999 Orchid Jungle was designated as a historic site by Miami -Dade County. The preserve has a loop trail with interpretive boards. Some of the old historic Orchid Jungle buildings remain but you are not allowed to go in them. The trail goes through a tropical hardwood hammock lined with gumbo limbo and oak trees which add to the feeling that you are walking in a jungle. The preserve contains rare plant species including ferns that grow in the solution holes formed when acid rain eroded the oolitic limestone. The Miami-Dade Parks Department periodically runs $6 guided hikes through Hattie Bauer. Call (305) 242-7688 for future dates.

In the nature center I learned that the preserve got its name from the Florida black bears that used to swim from Virginia Key to Key Biscayne. I guess even bears enjoy a beach day. Trails for the preserve begin at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Nature Center. The first trails you come to are the Tequesta Hammock Trail and the Bear Cut Nature Trail. Both trails are natural earth and are .3 miles long. They loop around through a tropical hardwood hammock. On the day I visited they were filled with mosquitoes. The 1.3 mile Osprey Trail is paved and perfect for bikes. It ends in a boardwalk that overlooks a 6,000 year old fossilized mangrove forest reef and gives a spectacular view of downtown Miami. You have to pay for parking in Crandon Park. You will also want to bring bug spray, sunscreen, and water. After you finish your hike you can visit the nature center, hang out on the beach, or explore the botanical garden on the other side of the park.

Upon entering the park, make a left and head to the northern end of the parking lot. Bear Cut has three trails: 1) Tequesta [1/4 mile]; 2) Bear Cut [1/2 mile]; and Osprey and a Nature Center. The Center has exhibits and explains the unique flora and fauna of the Preserve. Pick up a trail guide at the Nature Center. All trails are accesible to the north of the Nature Center and are clearly marked. Tequesta and Bear Cut are more shaded and smaller than the Osprey trail, and cover part of the Hardwood Hammock ecosystem. The Osprey trail is on soft sand, paved and board walk. It takes you by the sand dunes and mangrove forest on an elevated board walk. It is 1.3 miles from the Nature Center to the highlight of the Preserve: a fossilized mangrove swamp that dates 2,000 years ago and is one of only 2 in the world, with the other in Japan. The board walk takes you through the swamp and has an observation platform at the end overlooking the fossilized mangrove. The trail has spurs along the trail that takes you to the beach. The more you walk the more secluded you are. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen
