The one mile T-Rex Trail is a greenway, meaning a linear pathway closed to vehicular traffic where you can safely ride a bike, walk, and jog. No you won't finding any menacing dinosaurs like Jurassic Park as you exercise. The trail is named after the T-Rex Corporate Complex (former IBM property) that it runs alongside. On the other side of the trail is a canal.
You can access the T-Rex Trail from the Yamato Road Tri-Rail station where it is adjacent to the El Rio Trail. The T-Rex Trail goes from the Yamato Road Tri-Rail station, along Technology Way, under Spanish River Blvd, to Countess DeHoernle Park.
During my exploration of the trail I saw a number of cyclists as well as lizards and birds sunning themselves on the banks of the canal. Unfortunately portions were overrun with invasive plants. During periods of heavy rain the trail has a tendency to flood out and portions have been washed out in the past or closed during area construction. When it is fully open the best feature of the trail is the safety it provides cyclists from traffic. read more
