We drove the Miccosukee canopy road for the beauty of the area, and stopped at the first trailhead parking lot to take a walk. There are rest rooms and the trail is clearly marked with a map to get your bearings. We liked the trail, and found it to be an easy walk. The only downside is that the trail runs alongside the road and you can hear all the traffic.

My wife and I went hiking and running on the Miccosukee Greenway. We started at the Fleischmann Road Trailhead and hiked out and back 3 miles. The trail is surprisingly hilly and beautifully wooded. Many birds were flying around and baby birds could be heard in the nearby nests. The trail itself is a well-maintained limerock trail which hard-packed but much easier to run on than concrete and asphalt. We love this trail and will be back frequently!

Yes, the drive is beautiful, but you are missing the best part. Park at one of the 3 parking areas along the way and walk and hike! Restrooms and water fountains are on the trail. Parts of the trail are open and have oyster shell trail footing. Some parts are shaded and very woody. Some parts have wooden bridges to walk over. You can choose how far you want to walk, or bike. The walking/biking /running trail is awesome!

I’ve bicycled the length of the trail about a half dozen times, mostly on a mountain bike and lately on a gravel bike. The terrain is only moderately challenging and most bikes would be okay. It can be a fast trail. Have the trail to yourself on weekdays. Weekends, the southern half of the trail seems to see more foot traffic. A mix of people who will give you room, and clueless dopes who block the trail. I counted several horses.Slow way down for any traffic in either direction.

Make time for this occasion - drive down this road (not at night) and see this beautiful natural area. It's not inly Miccosukee that is a canopy road, there are others, and they take you back into beautfiful areas with old historic churches and other locations
