Great great, Park to go to. one of the best, parks in the area of North Miami, North Miami Beach, and basically, within 15 miles area. Great Trail hiking trails. Great place to go, with a large family, or group of friends. Lots and lots of parking. Definitely go early in the morning. Once parking, is full. They will stop receiving, people, in automobiles. You can still go, keep in mind, on your bicycles. Or walk in. But get ready for a long walk. So you can get to the Park area, and the lake that they have. It has a beautiful view, of the Bay. You can barbecue there. Mountain bike trails. There is camping also available. Ask at the Security toll entrance. For information, concerning camping. They will be very helpful. I go there with the wife, and the children, and grandparents, and some friends, every other weekend. It's a nice area, so there are plenty of nice local people, there. Very friendly. Of course, you will find your drunk people walking around. But it seems, that they are aware, that if they get too out of control, they will find themselves, in trouble with the local police departments. Please, keep all windows and doors locked. Don't leave any, valuables visible within your vehicle. You can have a great time, and a wonderful experience, if you just listen, to a couple tips, that I give most of my followers. When it comes to safety issues. I have to add this. Do not leave, children, I repeat children, in vehicles. Not even, for 30 seconds. The sun in South Florida, is very unforgiving. Plus if someone walks by, which will likely happen, cuz this park is very populated, a lot of activity, especially in parking lot. They will report it, to authorities. Remember you're going to a park, to have a good family day. Don't mess it up, for yourself and your family, Buy leaving a small child, in your car. Unattended. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Anyways back to the beauty of this park. There is lots of Wildlife. And I don't mean tigers and bears. Lol. Lol. There is a fishing area. Please inquire, with information and security booth at the main entrance. There is one way in, and one way out. Once again arrive early. The lines tend to get very very long, once you enter. Everyone has to check in, at security area please. There is a fee. For parking. People with disabilities, will be received, with open arms, and should not have to pay for parking. Try not to bring, any bottled beverages. We must conserve, nature, and keep it the way it's been, without polluting it with glass, and Plastics. A very family-friendly Park. Lots of mangrove trees. Red white and black. All along the waterways. There is a Sandy Lake area, next to, public restrooms, on the water, where you can sit down, and enjoy the water, while you get a nice Florida sun tan. If you need to pick up items. There is a great, Winn-Dixie, directly across the street from the park. There plenty of gas stations as well. There is a nice restaurant, at the corner of the parking lot, where Winn-Dixie is located. Very family orientated. You can have a great steak and potato and salad dinner, they also serve great seafood plates. You can sit inside, or outside dining, is available. Not too pricey. Especially for the quality of the food, and service. Remember to tip your table service. Have not been, to that restaurant in almost a year. But they do have a live music, area. Great great, for parties. Remember to call at least a week in advance. To confirm, reservations. They do cater to parties. Back to the park. Great place to go, with your partner, and just walk on the trails, and get your daily exercise. It will give you a nice natural mindset, for the day, walking through nature. Very very helpful for the spirit the body and the soul. I hope I was very helpful today. This is my goal. As a local guide Google Assistant. Please feel free,. To send me questions, or concerns. I will reply promptly. It's wonderful when one human being, can help another. To guide that person or persons, to a safe, journey, when it comes to dining, or outside, activities. David Lawrence
