Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands extends from Culter Bay to the North Homestead area and provides access to five recreation sites. This includes new facilities opening in 2025/2026 along the constructed Cutler Bay flow way and the C-102 Canal. Starting on the north end of this expansive region, the locally coined ‘Coastal Ridge Preserve’ is a hidden gem. Stroll along a short shell path and admire the restored uplands. Moving south, an overlook at the Cutler Bay flow way will provide opportunity to observe local birds in the adjacent wetland areas.

Heading further south, you can enjoy views of Biscayne Bay and learn about the ongoing efforts to restore freshwater flows to the bay at the C-102 Canal levee pathway. Several picnic tables are available for you to enjoy a picnic lunch. Additional hiking, bicycling and fishing opportunities can be found along the G-95 and C-103 Canal levees.
