South Dade Rail Trail

The South Dade Rail Trail (SDRT) is a rail trail, run by Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation, that follows the old Florida East Coast Railway rail corridor for 20.5 miles, from Miami to Homestead in South Florida, traversing a diversity of urban, suburban and semi-rural environments.

This trail forms a section of the East Coast Greenway, a 3000-mile system of trails connecting Maine to Florida.

Paralleling US Highway 1 for most of its length, the route was adapted for urban commuters seeking refuge from traffic congestion. The trail connects to the Dadeland and Cutler Ridge shopping areas and commercial office spaces.

The trail is funded mainly by the state managed and maintained by the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreations department.
