Confirmed from Pine Island Ridge Natural Area'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 scenery 15 mentions

“Beautiful old oak trees and lots of shade, a lake, and horse trails, plus access to tree tops park!”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Its nice quiet loop walk, just a bit sandy in some points: about 25-35 minutes.”

We got to Pine Island from Tree Tops Park. We entered with a sense of respect and solemnity, considering the history of the place. If you go from Tree Tops Park you’ll see a statue of Sam Jones who helped his fellow Seminole people escape.

★★★★★ — Laura , Feb 2019

Beautiful place! Love the nature trails. If you walk from the Tree Tops Park towards Pine Island Ridge you feel like you are entering anither world, it is amazing and beautiful.

★★★★★ — Blanca , May 2021

That's one of the nicest parks in Broward County. If you're into equestrian riding. It's one of the best places for that it's also great hiking Park. Various trials for bike riding hiking horse riding fishing. But due to covid-19 there is no paddle boats there is no Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital workout Zone.

★★★★★ — David , Dec 2020

Great place to walk, the trees and nature were beautiful. It was a beautiful day and the combination of the shade from the trees and the breeze was great.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
