Matheson Hammock Park

Matheson Hammock is a beautiful park in the heart of one of the oldest sections of Miami, just off of Old Culter Road. This is far off the tourist map which is mostly confined to South Beach. However, it is just 20 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from Downtown. The park is enjoyed by many locals during the day, due to the mossy oaks in its interior, intimate mangroves, and breezy palms ...

Deering Estate People's Dock

The Deering Estate is a magnificent and historic property with a home built in 1900. To see the house and check out its immediate property, you will need to pay to enter the gates. However, just 50 yards south of the entry to the Estate is a small service road that leads down to the "People's Dock" on Biscayne Bay. After you park in the main Deering parking area, you will walk down this se...

The late Tony Goldman, a real estate developer who saw potential in neglected areas and made them more attractive and popular, is responsible for Wyn...

The Everglades National Park is a superb spot for viewing wading birds and alligators off an easy paved path. There are a number of observation decks along the way, off of the main path. The trail begins at the Visitor Center, following Taylor Slough. The Anhinga Trail is one of the best places to see alligators in this part of the Everglades, so be sure to walk to the end of the paved path an...

Hike through Shark Valley

I would like to preface this adventure by saying that if you prefer to bike Shark Valley, please reference Rob Witt's adventure "Bike through Shark Valley". Biking is certainly the best way to see the whole trail, and not spend the entire day doing it. Hiking (really walking) this trail is a slightly different than taking the tram or riding a bicycle for several reasons. At a slower moving p...
