Confirmed from Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway'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.
6 miles of canopied trails for hiking, jogging, cycling & horseback riding, with 4 parking areas.
What runners say about Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway
“Awesome park, well maintained trails and grasses, nice minimalist facilities at the main entrance, water fountain at the entrance near the tunnel under I-10.”
“This park is an example of open beauty and just being surrounded with gorgeous nature.”
“Beautiful and relaxing, and one of the best trails for running, jogging, or walking.”
“There are very shady parts and very sunny parts, so we park in different sections depending on the weather.”
4 separate parking areas with bathrooms along the way. Lots of trail offshoots along the way. There are no slippery areas, even after the rain like some of the other local hiking trails.
Great for everyone! Families, runners, bicyclists, dogs, horses, etc. It's a fairly wide path with room for passing traffic but it doesn't ever feel crowded.
Awesome park, well maintained trails and grasses, nice minimalist facilities at the main entrance, water fountain at the entrance near the tunnel under I-10. Miles and miles of trails over acres and acres of rolling grassy hills. Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome too. Plenty of room to play catch, frisbee, etc.
Fantastic place to go for a walk. If you start at the entrance on Fleishmann Rd. you can do a 40 minute walk under shade. It has mild inclines so it's a modest workout as walks go. If you want to go further you may want to bring a bike. There is a portable restroom at this entrance.

“Awesome park, well maintained trails and grasses, nice minimalist facilities at the main entrance, water fountain at the entrance near the tunnel under I-10.”
