Many of Davie’s trails are horse trails that walkers and cyclists share. The spine is the Orange Drive Linear Park along the South New River Canal; off it hang shaded lake loops, a county park with a marsh boardwalk, and the Pine Island Ridge, where the highest natural ground in Broward County rises 29 feet above sea level. Town parks are open 9 a.m. to sunset.

Orange Drive Linear Park

The town calls this canal-side trail “a favorite among the locals.” It follows the north side of the South New River Canal from Florida’s Turnpike west, runs past Town Hall, and links most of Davie’s equestrian parks: Wolf Lake, Westridge, Tree Tops, Robbins Lodge and Vista View.

Tree Tops Park and Pine Island Ridge

Tree Tops Park, 3900 SW 100th Ave., is a 350-acre Broward County park with nature and equestrian trails and a 23-acre restored freshwater marsh with a boardwalk around it for bird-watching. The state’s birding trail lists it as free and open daily 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail).

The Pine Island Ridge Trail starts there. From the equestrian area at the end of the main drive (parking, tie-outs and a wash stand), follow the trail east of the water trough, cross the bike path and head north through the fence onto the ridge. The town says Tequesta people lived on the ridge more than 5,000 years ago, followed by the Miccosukee and Seminole; the trail follows an old citrus-grove road, and malachite butterflies and gopher tortoises live along it. Near a small gazebo is the highest natural point in Broward County, 29 feet above sea level. The trail connects to the Westridge-Robbins trail.

Wolf Lake Park

Davie’s first open-space purchase, in 1990, Wolf Lake is a 50-acre park with a multipurpose trail around a central lake, “almost totally shaded” by tall Australian pines, the town says. There are fishing spots and a horse wading area; canoes and non-motorized boats are allowed, swimming is not. Enter from SW 76th Avenue or SW 73rd Avenue; there is some trailer parking.

Westridge-Robbins and Robbins Vista View

The Westridge-Robbins Park Trail starts at Bergeron Park, 1900 S. Nob Hill Road, just south of I-595, with picnic shelters, a jogging trail and horse trailer parking. It crosses Westridge Park, about 50 acres of the old Pine Island Ridge, 20 feet above sea level, which the town is reforesting.

The Robbins Vista View Trail links Robbins Preserve (entrance about half a mile north of Orange Drive on Hiatus Road; 160 acres of pasture, equestrian trails and oak hammock), Flamingo Gardens, Broward County’s Long Key Natural Area and Vista View Park, whose twin hills are among the highest spots in Broward County. From the top, the town says, you can see Port Everglades and downtown Fort Lauderdale to the east and the Everglades to the west.

Sharing the trail

On shared trails, slow down and speak up before passing a horse so the rider knows you are there. Dogs must be leashed (dog-friendly Davie). When the lightning horns sound at a park, get off the trail.
