Review: Flow, flow, and more flow. As all the reviews say! Nothing technical except for possibly a few surprise burst climbs in the "advanced" sections. Looking for a quick, fun ride for all skills? Come here. It's awesome -- including the pump track in the middle. Looking for rock gardens, technical obstacles, or challenging riding? Go to Markham.
Review: new additions are awesome. Ride thru and under the trailer is the bom!
Review: Not very hard but fun trail
Review: Awesome trail! Fast paced and flowy. Nice hills and bunny hills. Very well maintained! Easy trail to follow and get off the intermediate section if needed and get on the beginner. Worth the drive to go ride. Park is very nice to enjoy a fun filled day of riding and relaxing.
Review: Awesome trail. Worth the drive to go ride! Nice park to enjoy a full day of riding. Very flowy trail, hilly, twisty turns fast paced. Very well maintained. Will return again next time we visit miami.
Review: this trail is fast and flowy with a lot of good downhills and carpeted berms. This trail is fun for anyone beginner or advanced and is well maintained.
Review: I went there expecting a flowing trail and that's exactly what I got. It's a trail that you can ride through pretty easily and get a good workout from. It is not very technical at all but it does have some elevation changes in it. Most people should be able to ride these trails without much trouble. It was a nice park but I'm not sure if I'm going to go back for that. I much prefer Markham park to this.
Review: Novice rider, 3rd time on this trailer. Best one I have been to so far. This trailer has something for everyone no matter your expertise level, turns, hills, inclines etc. will try and come back more often.
Review: Great trail system, Today was my 2nd trip there and it was backwards, still I can pass many people, it is a well flowing trail that you can really work and get going

Review: Very nice trail. Builders work hard to continually improve the trail and add new features. This is a fast-flowing course that should keep that heart rate elevated.
Review: Could be one of the most fun in south Florida , definately go back , will bring othersto this park .
Review: Nice park in the middle of an urban jungle. Thanks to all the trail volunteers!
Review: New added section in trick or treat. Trail deserves higher rating. BTW why are so many trails that are closed still on the list?* Review edited 1/11/2012

Review: Amelia is a great flowing trail for South Florida. You can hit corners fast and experience small climbs in Florida. This track receives attention from the locals and you can tell.

Review: Great beginner through expert trail. I started there, and even though I am still a beginner, the more difficult trails were pretty forgiving. Made the mistake of going into a double black diamond... :( not quite ready for that one yet. I will definitely go back to hone in my skills.
Review: Fun trail for everyone.
Review: Best cardio workout mountain bike park in south florida tremendous work done by volunteers, the track is hair under 7 miles and is the most flowing and well layed-out track. know one gets lost there. Less technical than marcum or Oleta but unique.

Review: Wow - what a fun trail! About 7 miles of super fun trails. I'd rank it about 50% Blue, 25% green and 25% black. I rode this on 7/21 at 2:30pm and got an amazing workout and a great ride. Lots of steep climbs and the trail just keeps going and going. A great option to Markham and Oleta.

Review: The new additions just keep coming! Massive new berms, jumps, and improved sections everywhere! This trail is beautiful, fast and fun...At 7 & 1/2 miles it's a great before or after work ride. I've heard they're building another couple of miles to be opened soon....wow!! Awesome!

Review: I returned to this trail after one year.
Kudos for the guys and volunteers in charge of such an AMAZING change. Yes, this is not Oleta or Markham but sure it is finally a nice addition to the trails we have in South Florida. No more poison Ivy, no more vegetation covering the tracks, no more a simple trail. It is short, but it is intense...they have even build a bridge!!!!! Well done, congratulations again, nice work and a great additional trail, I hope this Park gets the recognition it deserves.
Review: I disagree with Jamispro. Hey, did I see you there? I was there 2/13. I think this trail has been improved immensely. It's fast, good workout and some places you definitely need to keep your wits about you.

Review: This is a fun trail if your bored. Once you ride Oletta or Marcham this trail is like riding around the block. It's fast and has it's OK sections, but nothing to get your heart beat going. No quick rushes like any of the other parks, But a nice casual ride if you want a change of pace every once in a while.

Review: A super fun, fast, great-flowing trail. Lots of new berms and BMX-style jumps, and perfect for an intense cardio workout. The most impressive MTB trail bridge ever...period!
7.25 miles on GPS and several computers, so other posts must have missed some trail.
Thanks to the new volunteer group this past year, a HUGE improvement over years past....

Review: This is a fun trail, even though it's not that long. Great trail for a change from Markham or Oleta and good for honing a new rider's skills. It's pretty smooth so you can get some speed and there's an advanced section with some fun stuff, not too technical. it's about 4-5 miles long, so ride it twice!!
Review: I've been riding Markhan,oleta and Amelia for about a year and right now Amelia by far is the Best maintained trail in South Fl,no more itching no more overgrown the trail is awesome thanks to Expertrider and the rest of the voluntiers ireally recomend this trail to everyone.

Review: They just reversed the trail direction this past weekend. A nice change which makes it feel like a brand new trail. The folks at "In Da House" are doing a wonderful job keeping this trail fresh and well maintained. They made Amelia very enjoyable again. Only if we can get rid of the hitchhiking ants :)

Review: This trail is much improved from a year ago. Good work by the volunteers! Very flat and not technical at all, but for the most part good flow lets you crank through the trail. Its still two stars, but a strong two stars now. Trail is a little short, but in many respects more enjoyable than Rootleta.
Review: a little flat in begining until you go further in back past 1 set of camel humps...then you get to some hilly trails...
Review: great trail, has some tough climbs but do able's, smoth n fast pace, good downhills, overall expirence is awesome, thanks to the volunteers for making this trail great

Review: I have not been to this trail for several months and was surprised to see that the trail builders have been hard at work creating what now has to be one of the best MTB trails in South Florida. Very well built berms, groomed trail beds, excellent climbs and drops including some that are VERY steep keeping you on your toes, there is even a huge wooden bridge. I personaly feel The Medium / Blue difficulty rating needs to be bumped up to a single black diamond due to the technical challenges and should be rated one step below Markham Park. This trail is sweet!

Review: This is the best trail in South Florida right now! Fast with great flow, an amazing change from a year ago. The guys working on this trail should take over Markham, cause Amelia is much smoother and a lot more fun. Several jumps, berms, and other fun parts of the trail. Oh, the biggest bridge I've ever ridden on, huge! My new favorite trail, sorry Markham and Oleta!

Review: The trails are in great shape. I ride them at least once a week and every time I go I notice something new has been done. They have added some really fun jumps to little razorback and other places as well. Also I just saw a new bridge being built that is about 10 feet high I always have fun riding here.
Review: I agree with moto199, last time I rode this trail was six years ago, The trail have been improved and more Technical. Best of all you come out of the trail system without itching! This problem has finally be resolved! I was very impressed with the maintenance of the trails.

Review: The trails are in the best state they have ever been. There has been many new additions done to the park in the beginning and after Lil Razorback. The park is growing every month and the In Da House crew has done some excellent work making the trails fun to ride with the addition of burms throughout the park and small technical sections.

Review: This trail is now extremely well maintained, very clear and well mowed. Totally rebuilt from a year ago! There is no mud, even immediately after any rain. Every trail has been filled. The little fire ant that plagued the trails has been eradicated. Many new berms and awesome new features: Double jumps, the biggest and best bridge ANYWHERE, clean all of the time! The BEST trail in south Florida! End of story!

Review: Worth the trip if your in the area. Starts out slow and muddy at the trail head but get better as you move deeper into the course. Out in the back is a section called Little Razor Back that has a few steep blimbs that will test your timing. The trail needed maintenance March 2009 but was fun for sure.* Review edited 4/7/2010

Review: im 17, i ride this trail every saturday and i just love it...as said before, the trail progressively becomes more difficult up to the end..lots of technical parts, a few climbs, and some really nice decents. Ive pretty much learned how to mountain bike in this trail and now my stepdad and i are easily pulling this trail out in about 35 mins on average...also true is the fact that during the summer it gets overgrown and is in need of some good maintenence..not to mention some plant (which i think is poison ivy) that makes you itch so bad it makes you want to find the fastest way out. but overall i love this track and i think anyone who wants a good time but also a challenge should come here.
p.s. any info on when the next races are for the upcoming season?
Review: Great park for beginners and experts alike. Several technical parts and drops. Well kept and maintained, great park to start mountain biking.
Review: Half exposed, half shaded by pines. Some sections very sandy. Some challenging mud, roots and loose coral rock. Numerous short hill climbs. Fire road around lakes.
Review: Great park for everyone, actually has more than 7 miles of singletrack.

Review: OK trail, gets progressively more challenging farther into it. Can be excessively sandy, moderate maintenance.
Review: These trails were not bad at all until I ran into a patch of plants that were either poison Ivy or something that drove me crazy trying to find a way out of the trails because the itching was so bad and intense. Really bad experience for me. Sucks because this is one of the closest parks to me. But the desperation of trying to find my way out asap because my skin was all on fire from my arms. back & chest were unbearable. The insects dont bother me. Thats a part of mountain biking. But woa whatever it was that got me was very bad. Maybe ill head there again in the winter and hopefully the same wont happen.
Review: I thought it was pretty easy and not very difficult for about the first 30 minutes, and that this was more of an "easy stroll" kind of ride. So when I saw an expert sign I figured it would be a piece of cake. BEWARE - even though most of it is easy, there IS a pretty serious advanced trail in the back, serious drops and climbs. This was my 1st time there so not sure how long its been there, but if you think you can climb really steep check it out.
Review: I rode this park today. It was REALLY a lot of fun. I am a Markham baby - its where I learned to ride and where I ride the most. (I ride about once a week.) Compared to that, it was challenging, fun and technical in many spots. I have read many review about this park here and at other sites and I have to say that the descriptions do not match my experience. Today's conditions: April 22, Day after a rain, trails were clear, seemed well maintained, there were some spots that were sandy and there was some insignificant mud. I do see how in the summer, the overgrowth could be bad. Oh yeah - brand new looking wash rack that is nicer and better than I have seen anywhere in Florida. My experience is that if you haven't tried it..its good. If you have and its been awile - Maybe try it again.

Review: I'm a totally out of shape novice and have been to Oleta & Markham. In comparison Amelia is far less difficult but has some technical bits (to me). Being that I am a novice I think I will spend more time there until my skill and stamina improves. I did see some broken glass, trash and car tires along some trails. It was almost expected given the park is in Hialeah. I think that not enough people help maintain these trails. I also noticed that there were no wash off stations. Despite that it was fun for someone like me.

Review: This trail is pretty good however as of July 14 2008 it is VERY overgrown on many parts of the trail.
Review: This trail is a loop, well kept, very nice workout. Nothing too hard or too easy... Good for beginners or intermediate riders. Advance riders can try to do it twice in one shot :)

Review: Fun Trails, nothing to crazy, but challenging enough to have fun. some portions are very sandy, when it doesnt rain.
Review: My first trail. It was awsome. Fun roots, big climbs, and the camel humps. . . tons o' fun.
Review: I rode here last week and trail is great as usual. They have added some improvements. There is also a new trail called Little Razorback, which has challenging climbs.

Review: Was getting tired of riding Oleta and Markham ALL the time, so i figured i'd try Amelia out (plus its closer to me).
I can only describe it as NASTY. If this park has cleaned up as some another fellow rider reviewed, i'd hate to see it before.
The course so so horribly maintained. To add to the unmaintained look, the course was ankle deep in mud. (but then again, it always rains in Hialeah). To top that off, THERE IS NO BIKE WASH!It just looked...Nasty. My wife got stung by a bee (no biggy, part of trails.) but when we stopped to check her out, it was as if we had been setup for n ambush. about a million mosquitos came out and were all over us. We high tailed it out of there. Also bumped into a fellow HIKING on the bike trail!! Good thing i could see him and he wasnt around a corner. Dont know if it was just our bad luck, but i can tell you this park is not in the same league as Markham and Oleta.
If you are an interm/advanced rider and want a great ride to test your skills with technical trails, then Markham is for you. If you are beginner/interm rider and want a REALLY fun ride with the option of hitting up some really decent trails, then look into Oleta. I dont think Amelia is worth riding. I'd rather just drive a little further and get quality ride time.
Tip To Hialeah: You should fumigate your parks!

Review: Rode this one again this weekend. It seemed like there was a lot more soft sand on the trails than before. I'm not sure if it was because it didn't rain the week prior or if there was sand added to the trails. It was still a good ride though. We took a buddy out that had never rode the park before. He said it was a good work out but he thought the park should be cleaned up some.
Review: Just rode this one again on Saturday. They cleaned it up some because of the Coconut Cup a couple of weeks back. And I'm not sure because I had only ridden this one once before, but it seemed like they either added another trail or re-opened one that was closed last time I was there. But it still wasn't marked that well, and it seemed like it had a lot more soft sand this time around. It's still a good trail to ride, especially with the amount of climbs it has there. And I swear that it's longer than 4 miles, but my computer went down this time and I didn't get the mileage. Anyone know if there's a map of the trails for this park.

Review: I'm lowering my previous rating of the trails. Every time you ride it it's in worst condition. And I couldn't take the smell of certain sections of the trail. Don't know what it is. It has a bad flow to it. You ride only like 6 miles but your looking at your cat eye perplexed becasue it feels like you've rode 16 miles a the end. part of it is the real soft sand. Still we don't have many trails in the area so beggers and be choosey.
Review: not bad at all for middle of miami. it's only about an hour long so if your looking for something that takes up more of your day go to Oleta. Some nice up and downs. You might have to get off your bike if your not really moving on the uphills. A nice park to break-up the Oleta\markham rides. It would be great if we had more parks to hit in the area.

Review: Great trail though it suffered significant damage from Wilma. There is a great section of ladder bridges that will challenge even a good trials rider. Not to many climbs or downhills but there are a share of fun runs and slopes. A few drop can be accomplished if you look hard enough. Fun trail for everyone.
Review: I rode this trail earlier this year, though the trail itself was well thought out, the trail edges were littered with garbage. There is nothing like riding past broken glass, steel and nails to make you think twice. I wouldn't recommend this trail if you want to push yourself, as a fall could be worse than a little gravel rash.
Review: I ride this park on Sunday the 8th. Everybody knew that after Hurricane Wilma, all parks in south Florida changed. But this park change was for the better of it. The trail got somewhat a bit more advanced.
Review: Great park for everyone. Very fast paced aswell.
