Driving Directions
Oleta River State Park is located at 3400 N.E. 163rd St, off I-95 in Miami.

Hours of Operation
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.

At 1,043 acres, Oleta River State Park is the largest urban park in the state. Located on Biscayne Bay in northeast Dade County, the most prominent natural feature of the park is the Oleta River, for which the park is named.

Today, the Oleta River no longer flows north into the Everglades but its beauty and splendor lives on. Waterbirds feed along the mangrove-lined shoreline and the endangered West Indian manatee finds refuge from south Florida's crowded waterways.

Plantlife
The Oleta River winds through Oleta River State Park and offers beautiful canoe/kayak experiences in dense mangrove forests. There are a few areas of Hardwood hammock areas to enjoy.

Wildlife
Raccoons, foxes and opossums call the park home, and manatee and dolphin surprise the visitors occasionally along the shores of the park.
