Confirmed from Miccosukee Greenway Thornton Rd Trailhead'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.
Greenway with several well-maintained hiking and jogging trails through native Florida forest.
What runners say about Miccosukee Greenway Thornton Rd Trailhead
“It’s dog friendly, there are several restrooms, and the trail is well maintained.”
“It was a beautiful, peaceful walk.”
“Perfect starting point for jogging or hiking in a bit of native Florida forest close to the heart of the city.”
“Very peaceful place with many many trails and a nice little break from humanity.”
I walked 6 miles (out and back) on the Miccasoukee Greenway. It was a beautiful, peaceful walk. The light in the early winter, late afternoon, was spectacular. Didn't see a lot of people (runners, walkers, cyclists, dogs with people on a leash).
Great place not far from the city center to take a walk (or bike it horse ride) through fields and forests where you can get absolute silence. One end is a little close to the interstate but, so it goes, the greenway is relaxing walk. Main trail is crushed gravel and there are several side trails that are grass.
I meet my husband here for quiet lunches. People bring horses here to ride, dogs to play, and bikes to ride. It is fairly peaceful. We like it because a quick sandwich or fruit and a walk are a great way to keep it strong in a relationship. There is a water fountain for people and pets.
A beautiful February hike. Did about 5 miles in 90 minutes. We'll maintained and minimal street noise, sans the I-10 overpass.
