Trail Overview

The West Upper Miami Canal Connect runs west of the main canal corridor, a surface of hardpack dirt, sand, and scattered rocks. While the main path is generally firm in dry weather, it transitions into a network of multiple narrow, one-lane roads that require careful navigation due to very limited passing space. The area is entirely primitive with no bathrooms, campsites, or fees, but it offers reliable cell service and frequent sightings of South Florida wildlife along the water.
