One of the most scenic runs you can take inland in Fort Lauderdale is on the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk. This recently completed trail along the New River in downtown is considered by many “Florida’s Most Beautiful Mile,” linking boutiques, restaurants, shops and museums with lush, tropical scenery. Riverwalk also encompasses Esplanade Park, with interactive exhibits, located at the foot of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Included along Riverwalk’s path you’ll find gazebos, a picnic area, native plant exhibits and a butterfly garden.
