What runners say about Arch Creek East Environmental Preserve (ACE Preserve)
“A beautiful spot that, I fear, has little time left.”
“Nice peaceful trail you can walk or ride your bike on!”
“Great place that connects to the FIU campus and is a good option for running, walking or walking the dog.”
Arch Creek was a Native American settlement in what is now present day Miami. Tequesta Indians thrived here until the early 16th century when European settlers arrived. The name Arch Creek comes from a natural limestone bridge that spanned the creek and was once part of an important Native American trail.
What a piece of Tranquility ! I've been in this neighborhood for 5 years and I just discovered it.. Greatly preserved, quite for dog walks.
This place connect The Biscayne Bay Nature Trail and as soon as I started crossing it I felt grateful and blessed. What a beautiful walk. I already have it in my plan for walking every time I can. Thanks God for taking me to place in the world like this.
Great place to walk your dog. BEWARE, many Karen's have been spotted in the area. Don't have too much fun or they will call the cops.
