The Black Creek Canal Trail – Old Cutler Trail loop offers a unique touring cycling experience, blending two distinct South Miami Heights environments. You'll start by cruising through the lush, shaded hardwood hammocks and under magnificent banyan trees of the Old Cutler Trail, passing grand estates and gardens. Later, the route transitions to the Black Creek Canal Trail, where the scenery shifts to open canal-side views, providing opportunities to spot wildlife like iguanas and various birds.
This moderate 27.4-mile (44.1 km) loop, with a minimal 93 feet (28 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes about 2 hours and 28 minutes to complete. While both trails individually are considered easy, their combination requires good fitness due to the distance. The route is mostly paved, though some sections on the Black Creek Trail might have gravel or numerous bollards, adding a bit of technicality. Restrooms and water are available along the Black Creek Trail.
This loop is a crucial part of the wider Miami-Dade trail system, connecting various parks and neighborhoods. The Old Cutler Trail is famous for its historic significance and shaded canopy, making it a comfortable ride even on sunny days, while the Black Creek Canal Trail offers a peaceful, breezy pathway along the water. It's a great way to explore diverse natural features and urban landscapes within Miami-Dade County.
