Description

It’s a Shark Valley Bike Ride! 

‘The best bike trail in all South Florida is Shark Valley. Shark Valley, the entrance to Everglades National Park off the Tamiami Trail directly west of Miami, is such a reliably wonderful outing that it’s one of my favorite places to take visitors. It has a smooth 15-mile paved loop trail through Everglades National Park with no traffic. It’s 20 feet wide and after the first mile, you’ll have it largely to yourself.’

We will meet at the back of the visitor center at 8:30 am. It’s a 15-mile paved route. Ride can last 2-4 hours and depends on how fast you ride a bike.
