Don Soffer Exercise Trail, Aventura

This is a very nice paved exercise trail named in honor of businessman and developer Don Soffer (b. 1932). Soffer was given the primary responsibility to develop an upscale community around the Turnberry Country Club. Originally named Turnberry he renamed the project Aventura, the Spanish word for adventure. The exercise trail is 10 feet wide, paved, and ADA accessible. It is 3.1 miles long and goes around the Turnberry Isle Resort Golf Course along Country Club Drive. Along the path is landscaping, shade trees, lights, benches, and water fountains. This easy to traverse trail is a popular pace for the community to safely walk, run, jog, rollerblade and bike. It takes most people an hour or less to complete. Pets are allowed as long as leashed six feet or less. On one side of the trail is the road so it is not as scenic as the trails through natural areas that I prefer. Still it is nice to know the exact distance you are going, it is a loop, and the trail is conveniently open 24 hours a day.

This is just under a 3 mile loop. But it is a great path for walking running etc. I loved it.
