Have been coming here all my life and while I really want to love it, as I love what it stands for, an undeveloped piece of real estate in south florida is rare, just isn't much for me here, the beach front is dirty and sits on the bay, there is nowhere great to enjoy the water views, the mountain...

My husband and I love to bike the trails at this beautiful park, there are trails for every level from novice to expert with quick turns through trees and small jumps. The views along some of the trails of the river and the ocean are spectacular! There is even a place to rent bikes, kayaks and canoes for the day,... More

This water is not on the ocean, very small beach area...not that great. Perhaps good if you do not like crowds. I felt the air had a not so pleasant smell...I think it is near a treatment center.???

I absolutely love this park, I visit once a week by boat and then head out to the Sand bar. There are lots of things to do like renting kayaks and riding the mountain bike trails. You am also just relax on the beach they have and bbq grill. A true gem

This is my "go-to" spot to take friends who have never done standup paddleboarding before - the water is always calm especially by the launching area that is shared by kayakers who rent from Blue Moon Outdoor Center (the rental concession inside the park). The staff there are so friendly and helpful. I've only used this park for standup paddleboarding... More

When you come in to the park, they make you pay ten dollars to just park. Then, when you want to rent a kayak, they will charge you 35 dollars for one and a half hours. She decided to pay that because we already wasted 10 dollars on parking, so it would be a shame if we would just leave... More

There is a great park for the whole family to enjoy a day outdoor. You can make a BBQ, ride a bike; Oleta River State Park currently has over 10 miles of challenging, intermediate mountain bike trails. For the beginner, there are over 4 miles of novice trails and 3 miles of paved trail. The paved trail also offers great... More

Oleta state park is a real gem - tucked away in NMB and nestled up against the intra-coastal waterway in Sunny Isles. It has lots of walks, cycle tracks, camping facilities, canoe / kayaking and a great cafe Blue moon. There is a fishing pier, swimming and a range of rentals available. You wouldn't know it's there but it's well... More
