  • Sidewalk riding is allowed, except on Miracle Mile; yield to pedestrians.

Commodore Trail

The county’s paved Commodore Trail runs 5 miles and links to the Old Cutler Trail at its southern end, per the county’s Commodore Trail map (PDF).

The Underline

The Underline is a 10-mile linear park and urban trail beneath Metrorail from Brickell to Dadeland. Its Segment 4, from SW 27th Avenue to Douglas Road, opened with a ribbon cutting that included Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago, bringing the trail to five continuous miles (Friends of The Underline). The City of Coral Gables contributed to construction and operations, according to the group. Douglas Road Metrorail station is where the free Coral Gables Trolley routes start; see our getting around guide.
