Oleta River State Park
At just over a thousand acres, this beautiful oasis in the heart of North Miami and Florida’s largest urban park—is a haven for mountain bikers, paddlers, anglers, swimmers and families out to enjoy a picnic along scenic Biscayne Bay. Bring your basket and enjoy one of the many picnic areas or relax while kayaking through some of Miami's most precious mangrove habitats and a part of the 1,515-mile Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail.
If you want to get away from the city, rent one of the comfy, air-conditioned cabins. It is also well known for the off-road bike paths that go on for miles, with bike trails for new riders or the expert looking for a challenge. The Oleta River borders mangroves and forest preserves of native wildlife. There’s also a beach, picnicking, pavilions, fishing area, and kayak and canoe rentals available daily.
