Confirmed from Crandon Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Beautiful beach with lots of space to chill, play beach volleyball and frescobol, walk along the water. Great long bike path that connects to the Rickenbacker causeway Greenway - perfect for biking and rollerblading from the beach. Past the Marine stadium (I stop at the steep causeway bike path next to the cars).
