Trail enthusiasts can enjoy walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating and other non-motorized recreational uses from dawn to dusk, year round. There are several local businesses, parks, and neighborhoods throughout the entirety of the trail. One can experience paved roads from start to finish through urban neighborhoods to more swap like areas. Palm trees line parts of the trail's southern end. == Historical development == Historical significance This trail rides along the right-of-way of the former Florida East Coast Railroad, Which connected major cities down the East coast of Florida. Built primarily in the last quarter of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, the railroad was a project of Standard Oil principal Henry Morrison Flagler. Flagler then began the Florida East Coast Railway(FECR). Service on the railway stretched down the east coast of Florida passing through several cities including St. Augustine, Fl and Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. Trail’s history and evolution Paralleling US Highway 1 for most of its length, the route was adapted for— and is largely used by— urban commuters seeking refuge from Miami's heavy traffic congestion. The trail connects such points of interest such as the Dadeland and Cutler Ridge shopping areas and commercial office spaces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Dade Rail Trail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
