R Hardy Matheson County Preserve

This is a great almost 4 mile walk! Very few people were on the trail even on the weekend, and the views are calm and serene. Some trash is here and there, but it’s worth making it to the outlet to the ocean at the end. I parked on the side of the road and crossed a busy street and bridge, but once you find the small gate, you simply walk through and you’re on the trail.

Feels like a secret garden. I have lived in Miami most of my life and never knew about this place. Recommend everyone to visit for the best skyline view of Miami.

Great trail for running or walking. It's a very long rocky road and at the end you get a beautiful view of the ocean. Once we got to the end there was a lot of trash around sadly, im guessing some people where there a few days before but the view is still amazing. Make sure to bring lots of water, sunscreen, and a hat cause it was blazing hot when I went. This place also has a random little building full of graffiti which I really liked. It's also very secluded and hidden from the actual road. I had to park at a library near by but I did see some cars parked at the side.

Anazing little hidden trail that takes all the way out to the ocean. You can spot some manatees too if you're lucky.

Parking here is difficult and there is a lot of trash along the main canal. Some of the trails into the preserve are nice. Unfortunately a lot of the fishermen here leave lots of trash. Doesn't seem to be very much city or county upkeep. As a fellow fisherman it makes me ashamed when we abuse our natural spaces like this. Pack in, pack out. Attached pictures are of the least trashy place that I found to get my line wet.

A great spot for nature lovers. There is an old abandoned military bunker with lots of graffiti, a very cool spot. Would love to go back!

Beautiful walk near mangroves and wildlife unfortunately the place is full of garbage left behind by mainly fishermen. No garbage cans in the area so it's not a surprise.
