    Everytime we pass by the Atlantic Blvd exit I see tons of people watching the sunset, so tonight we gave it a try. Absolutley chaos at the levee parking lot at 540pm with barely enough space to enter with large vehicles trying back out and leave with people aimlessly walking around. Finally found a parking space as we watched the car next to us get dinged by a frantic onlooker exiting their car in haste. The unobstructed orangy red sun just dropped below the horizon into the everglades. No place to sit on the gravel road so take your chair. Lots of bicycles riding up and down the path and fishing is permitted too. Pitch darkness by 615pm so bring a flashlight and watch for vicious alligators.

    If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic walk with a beautiful sunset, this is the place for you. I arrived around 5 p.m., which gave me plenty of time to enjoy a relaxing walk before the sun went down. There's plenty of parking, which is always a plus! I brought my dog, and we both loved the trail. Some people brought chairs to relax and watch the sunset, others were fishing, and some were biking. It was so calming being surrounded by the marsh. Honestly , this is one of the best sunset spots in South Florida.

    Amazing western sunset through miles of Everglades. Hundreds of people came to this Atlantic exits just off the Sawgrass Expressway. My hubby and I were only minutes away from missing the sunset. When google said the sunset was at 545pm they weren't kidding. Next time I will bring a chair. This was the perfect time of year to watch the sunset since it was cool outside with mosquitoes.

    I had read about this spot. Apparently, it offers amazing sunsets. Unfortunately, the time we were there was not the right time for this. We appreciated the open space. We appreciated being able to see the vastness of the Everglades. They were in the process of updating and building the parking area.

    This place has officially been added to my favorite places to run! The scenery, and the animals you get a glimpse of while there are lovely to encounter. You will find snakes, colorful grasshoppers, birds, and gators in the water. There are 3 paths you can choose from to walk/run. All 3 trails go on for miles, I could never take them all the way down. lol You will also find people fishing the waters or waiting to watch the sun set. It's a great place to visit day or night! Definitely bring sunscreen and bug spray for daytime walks or runs.

    Excellent views of the Everglades. Perfect for biking, walking, running. Very limited parking... got crowded quickly towards sunset. There was a food truck parked. A lot of folks with chairs etc to hang for the sunset

    Beautiful place. Peaceful, relaxing. Long walking trail. People would bring their chair to see sunset. Dogs are allowed. This place gets pack. Arrive before sunset. Parking is hard to find. Have to park on the curb. Just be respectful and enjoy the experience.

    I've been coming here multiple times a year for years. Whether to go for a run or view the sunset, I've always enjoyed coming out here. Parking can fill up quick for the sunsets so get there early or be prepared to park about a half a mile away and walk. If you're going for a walk, run, or bike ride, any of the directions give you the option to see gators. I've found that going west let's you see the most. Bust, the horseflies can be the worst going west. Definitely a beautiful spot to go for some away from the city views.

    Great sunset trail for biking or running. Not much shade. Great wildlife. Bring water!

    The sunset there is one of the best views in South Florida! Unfortunately, the parking is terrible. It's best to go early.

    Great walk! Get there early if you want to catch the sunset. We parked at the very end of the line.

    Great spot to take in the sunset. Just bring your bug spray and watch out for gators.

    Biking west on the greenway. The levee goes out almost 11-miles into the everglades from Sawgrass Expressway.

    Parking is terrible and people park everywhere which makes entering and leaving at sundown dangerous.

    This a duplicate listing of the Sawgrass Trailhead at Atlantic Boulevard…read more https://yelp.to/JtWKhdLchQ This place is open daily from 8 am to sunset and operated by Broward County. It's right off Atlantic Boulevard, just west of the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs. The parking lot is spacious but does get full during peak times. The trail is unpaved on gravel and dirt; it's a 27-mile loop that goes along the everglades. There were many people walking, biking, and fishing. I've seen all types of wildlife there; from alligators, snakes, and herons. Sunset is a very popular time because it's so beautiful. I had a photoshoot there and the pictures came out lovely. There are three access points, this location, the Sawgrass trailhead, Markham Park, and the Sawgrass Recreation Center. There are not many trails around the area so this is the closest thing to nature you can get out in South Florida. I've always enjoyed walking on the trail there and taking in nature, right near the hustle and bustle. Overall, a beautiful place and a must see, especially during sunset!

During the sunset a lot of ppl come here so I recommend you find parking early. I love this place it will be my future photoshoot spot. I will make a day of it. There's no bathrooms here so beware of that. There's a bunch of birds here to watch as well bring binoculars like I did ;)

    Greenways are green spaces that have been closed to motorized vehicles in order to provide people a…read moresafe place to travel and exercise. With no cars, they are typically a great place to enjoy nature and spot wildlife. The Cypress Creek Greenway is 16.5 miles from the everglades to the ocean. The trail was mainly constructed between 2009 and 2012 and it is the longest stretch of paved recreational path in Broward County. The segment closest to where I live runs from Fern Forest Nature Center to 441. The entirety of the trail runs between Lyons Rd. and Sanibel Dr., just east of Sawgrass Expressway. The trail is asphalt and concrete making it ideal for walking, running, and biking. For three miles of the trail it parallels Southgate Boulevard on one side and the C-14 Canal on the other. While walking the greenway today I spotted wading birds and an Osprey diving for fish. The trail used to end at Fern forest but another segment was recently added that takes it to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately the new segment of the trail is not directly linked to the old section. Instead you have to travel along the bike lane on Lyons Road 1.6 miles to McNab road before reconnecting to the Cypress Creek Greenway. Bike travel on Lyons road can be potentially dangerous. On the western end of the trail parking is available in Tamarac at Tephford Park Playground and the Gary B. Jones Park for People and Pups. On the east end of the trail parking is available at the end of Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano Beach. There is also parking at Fern Forest nature Center. One thing to note is that the greenway does not have any shade so it is best in the cooler months. There are a few benches along the way and it passes the Margate Boat Ramp. I had an enjoyable time looking for birds and walking off some of the turkey day dinner today. With the dip in temperature, this is a a fun trail to come out and explore.

In the 1980's when the Oriole Homes Corporation was developing the Country Place residential community on the north side of Holmberg Road in Parkland they offered to buy something to decorate the park and make it memorable for the residents of the new community. Parkland Commissioners Maryjane Sexton and Bobbi Pugliese wanted something that embodied the country setting so they picked a covered bridge. The bridge was suppose to cross over water but they didn't have any it could span so instead it connects land that runs between two canals. The park was deeded to Parkland on October 18, 1989. There isn't a parking lot for this park since it was designed for use by the people who lived in the community. I parked in the strip mall across the street from Holmberg Rd. and took the short walk up. The park is accessible from Holmberg Road or Hillsboro Boulevard through a tree lined trail on the west side of Winners Circle. The trail runs between the canal and apartments and it connects Covered Bridge Park to 6-acre Park off of Hillsboro Boulevard. I love a covered bridge and this park is so tranquil. In addition to the lovely bridge perfect for photos and as a backdrop for picnics, the hiking trail that runs between the two parks is wonderful for getting exercise. On my stroll I saw turtles, butterflies, and birds. This is just another reason why the name of Parkland is perfect for this picturesque city.
