This cache is located at the edge of the Miami River. The area is very popular with muggles (as it should be) so please be super-stealthy when retrieving/replacing the cache. I recommend spending a little time enjoying the river view. There is an excellent chance of seeing a luxury yacht sharing the river with a couple of tugboats guiding a cargo carrier.
Bring your own pen. Parking, MetroRail and MetroMover are nearby. Dog-friendly.
The Miami River
The Miami River is said to be the world’s shortest working river. The 5.5-mile (8.9 km) long river runs from east of Miami International Airport, through the City of Miami, into Biscayne Bay. Originally, the Miami River started at the edge of Florida’s Everglades. This area was dredged in 1908 as part of the Miami Canal project.
The Miami River is home to many small commercial shipping terminals moving cargo to more than 100 Caribbean, Central and South American ports. According to the Miami River Marine Group, Port of Miami River is the fifth largest port in shipping volume in Florida.
Historically, the river was home to the Tequesta Indians and, in the words of Sun Sentinel’s Maya Bell, “has harbored blockade runners, bootleggers, gunrunners, buccaneers, bordellos, deserters, spies, dictators, refugees and traders.”
The Miami River Greenway
Miami River Greenway is a public pedestrian and bicycle trail along the south side of the Miami River past restaurants, public parks, residential neighborhoods and Miami’s marine industrial district. Miami River Greenway features way-finding signs and historical markers, art installations, and plenty of benches for river-watching. Miami River Greenway's trailhead is the 2,000-year-old Miami Circle Park, a designated National Historic Landmark, where it connects to Baywalk's southern section.
The Underline
In 2013 Meg Daly broke both of her arms and could not drive herself to physical therapy so she took the MetroRail. Walking beneath the elevated train tracks, she realized that, even in July, the shade of tracks kept the unused space cool. She had a crazy idea... why not turn the land land below Miami’s MetroRail into a into a 10-mile linear park, urban trail and public art destination similar to New York's HighLine Park.
The Underline will be opening in phases through 2025, and run from the Miami River to the Dadeland South MetroRail Station in Kendall near Pinecrest.
This area is called "Brickell Backyard" and includes four "rooms": The River Room, Urban Gym, The Promenade, and the Oolite Room. The "River Room" connects to the Miami River Greenway, a public pedestrian and bicycle trail along the historic Miami River. The River Room includes native grasses and butterfly gardens along winding paths, seating areas & water for the pups.
