We lead for the Commodore Trail

Emphasizing safety, beauty and functionality, Friends of the Commodore Trail advocate for improvement and upkeep of the Trail to ensure pedestrians, cyclists and motorists can enjoy all this historic route has to offer. We organize events, strengthen community and push governments to act.

Life On The Trail

Trail users love how the Trail balances four precious parts of life in Miami. Health, heritage, nature and neighbors form the focus points of the Friends’ Initiatives. Wherever your passions lie, you’ll find like-minded Friends coming together to create, share and preserve the best of Miami life. You can too.

Walk. Run. Bike. Play.

Experience the Commodore Trail in motion…the best way! The Trail connects you with neighbors, work, schools and parks. Everyone benefits along this active urban trail.

Trail Heritage

Coral Gables Founder George Merrick thought the Trail showed newcomers what makes Miami special. The Commodore Trail unites past and future cultures and people.

Nature

Dense trees and limestone cliffs meet Biscayne Bay throughout the Trail’s five-mile corridor. More than protectors, Friends of the Trail actively steward and expand these treasures for all.

Neighbors

Grove and Gables neighbors work together to improve our shared trail for our guests, our children and ourselves. Potlucks, music, dog shows and gardens bring us together.

A Plan For The Trail

It all starts with a plan. And ours will be world-class. With neighbors and civic leaders leading the way, expert designers are crafting a balanced design that meets the many challenging requirements of an urban trail through a historic natural environment.
