Lonely Planet review

Tequesta Indians were boating this rich estuary (our favorite body of water, by the way) as early as 500 BC, so you're just following in a long tradition if you paddle in a canoe or kayak. At almost 1000 acres, this is the largest urban park in the state and one of the best places in Miami to escape the maddening throng. Boat out to the local mangrove island, watch the eagles fly by, or just chill on the pretension-free beach.
