Overview
Oleta River State
Park offers visitors a variety of recreational opportunities including kayaking,
mountain biking, camping in air-conditioned cabins, swimming, fishing, trail
walking and
picnicking. This is all available along the scenic Biscayne Bay.
The spring and summer weather makes for hotter days to enjoy the park and all
its activities. Why not cool off at the picturesque beach or take a bike ride
along a shaded bike trail. They have something for everyone.
At 1,043 acres, Oleta River State Park is the largest urban park in the state.
Located on Biscayne Bay in northeast Dade County, the most prominent natural
feature of the park is the Oleta River, for which the park is named.
Today, the Oleta River no longer flows north into the Everglades but its beauty
and splendor lives on. Water birds feed along the mangrove-lined shoreline and
the endangered West Indian
manatee finds refuge from south Florida's crowded waterways.
Use Miami kids and make Miami fun for the kids...and you!
