Matheson Hammock Park Trail

Located in Coral Gables, Matheson Hammock Park is perhaps one of the closest hiking destinations to the Magic City. The park centers around a marina and a man-made atoll pool, while its nature trails offer a stunning trip through rugged terrain and tropical trees in one of the area’s portions of ancient hammock.

To take this hike means a visit to Matheson Hammock Park, a popular swimming and picnic destination around an atoll along the bay. The 1.4-mile natural footpath can be tricky to follow, but is well worth a walk in the woods to see this rare habitat. Future plans by the county include a boardwalk atop the present trail route. And it is Matheson Hammock Park which is one of the best spots for hiking in Miami.
