Best trails in Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park protects a vibrant marine landscape just south of Miami, where mangrove shorelines, shallow Biscayne Bay, coral-fringed keys, and living reefs unite. Most of the park is accessible only by boat, with tours, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, and dive opportunities from the Dante Fascell Visitor Center. Explore the mangrove jetty trail or relax on the visitor center porch. Underwater, bright coral formations host over 200 fish species, seagrass beds shelter manatees and sea turtles, and mangroves nurture nursery habitat and wildlife. Mooring buoys help protect fragile reefs.

Trail reviews for Biscayne National Park
Very cool boardwalk and jetty into the ocean at Biscayne National Park!
Black Creek Canal Trail is a gem for a quick, scenic walk. It’s an easy 1.8-mile round-trip out to the point with lovely views of Biscayne Bay along the way. The vibe is welcoming and friendly people on the path and folks fishing right off the trail add to the charm.
Bocha Chita in Biscayne Bay National Park was beautiful. Yrails were great, but mosquitoes are next level down here. Gonna get a wet tooshie on the ride back with this thunderhead
Biscayne is mostly water. What littlewalking I could do, I did. Gorgeous! Especially with Miami in the distance. I made a new lizard friend who I tried to catch. Ill be back for the boat tour. 107 heat index. My ice cold diet coke never tasted so good!
