Description
Whether enjoying the 15 miles of off-road bicycling trails or paddling along lush mangrove forests, visitors find it difficult to believe that Oleta River State Park exists 30 minutes from downtown Miami.
At just over a thousand acres, this natural oasis — Florida’s largest urban park — is a haven for mountain bikers, paddlers, anglers and swimmers. Enjoy a picnic along scenic Biscayne Bay or unwind at the end of a fishing pole.
There are rustic, air-conditioned cabins, too, along with a youth campground for organized groups. The park is also a welcomed stop for long-distance paddlers on the 1,515-mile Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail.

THEY BITE...IT HURTS...YOU CANT SEE THEM!
To Our Park Visitors - Please be aware that Oleta River State Park has both mosquitoes and biting gnats. The gnats are also known as 'no-see-ums'. These insects are very active at dusk and dawn. We advise that you use insect repellant, limit your outside activities during these times and wear long sleeves and pants to limit your exposure to their painful bites. If you are a cabin visitor, we recommend that you keep your cabin door shut securely to prevent them from entering the building.
