Don Soffer Exercise Trail — Attraction in Aventura

This is a very nice paved exercise trail named in honor of businessman and developer Don Soffer (b. 1932). Soffer was given the primary responsibility to develop an upscale community around the Turnberry Country Club. Originally named Turnberry he renamed the project Aventura, the Spanish word for adventure.

The exercise trail is 10 feet wide, paved, and ADA accessible. It is 3.1 miles long and goes around the Turnberry Isle Resort Golf Course along Country Club Drive. Along the path is landscaping, shade trees, lights, benches, and water fountains.

This easy to traverse trail is a popular pace for the community to safely walk, run, jog, rollerblade and bike. It takes most people an hour or less to complete. Pets are allowed as long as leashed six feet or less. On one side of the trail is the road so it is not as scenic as the trails through natural areas that I prefer. Still it is nice to know the exact distance you are going, it is a loop, and the trail is conveniently open 24...

Safe path to walk, run, skate, roller, bike, etc. People are out day and night. Only a few places to look out for traffic as you pass condo driveways.

Night time views of the moon are beautiful. Day time views of the trees and plantings are interesting and the golf course greenry is a plus. In some areas, one must be alert to goose poop on the path but esay to avoid. If you are on the path about the same time each time you go, you'll get to notice the same people out at...

Love this trail! It’s nice and smooth and not hard on the feet. There’s benches along the trail. It’s basically a huge circle around the outside of country clubs, resorts and stuff. I ran the whole circle and the Nike Run club App. tracked it as 2.88 miles.

There’s a good amount of people on the trail young, old, and families. It’s wide enough to where you can easily pass by people.

Public streets are along the trail. I felt SAFE while running which is most important. There’s enough traffic to where people on the road and trail can you see.

You can park at the...
