At the Torrelli South Trailhead, you can take a quiet hike along the sugar-sand hills where you may see a rare scrub jay. At lower elevations you will find shady, fern-carpeted tree hammocks.

Featuring an expanse of predominately wet flatwoods that has mostly been converted to improved pasture, the Allapattah Flats recreational area offers excellent hiking and bicycling opportunities. Visitors may hike and bike along a 1.5-mile long, user-friendly shellrock road leading to a panoramic open vista of marsh frequented by wading birds. You can also enjoy the land by following the equestrian trails on horseback.
