We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Rickenbacker Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Rickenbacker Trail
This trial is 5.4 miles. Be prepared, the trail is not shaded. You will have maximum exposure to Miami's extreme sun.
BEST BIKE PATH IN TOWN!! Breathtaking views of my city from any angle while going up or down on this bike path. There are a couple of food trucks along the east bound, just in case you want to hydrate or grab a bite. Also, thanks to the City of Miami for the park/path additions on the north end, it’s beautiful.
Walk this trail often and love it here! The bridge is an added bonus to kick up your cardio. Parking is free along the trail but the early bird gets the worm so come early to find a good spot.
