I know of no swimming holes. Even if I did, I would never use them because of large carnivorous reptiles that may be lurking.
Hiking is a different story. Taking into consideration that we’re in a very urban area in Miami-Dade and Broward, there are several city and county parks that have hiking trails, each with an abundance of local flora and fauna. Getting further away from the urban area, Jonathan Dickinson Park near Jupiter is wide open for hiking. West of Miami is Shark Valley, which has a great walking/biking trail, but I would do it only in late winter/very early spring. I know that the levees that run along the western canals are good spots for hiking.
No doubt you’ll get better advice if you hook up with one of the local hiking clubs in the area…

Question: How to go about running on hiking trails?
I want to take up running this summer, but on hiking trails so that I can run at an incline. How should I go about doing this? Do people do this? What type of shoes are okay? Any tips? Thanks!
Answer:
Answer by J
it’s called Trail Running, and a lot of people do it. it’s more exciting than road running because you have varying inclines, challenging terrain and sometimes better views. not to mention there’s the added difficulty of having to be careful where you step.
wear whatever shoes you run in now. anything with ankle support is too big and clunky. maybe you’ll twist an ankle here and there but big deal.
i’m one of those barefoot converts, though. people often run in Vibraim TrekSports, though i’m a bigger fan of the Merrell Trail Glove. either of those get stinky like you wouldn’t believe, though, so find some sort of anti-stink spray.

Question: What hiking trails are really open during winter times in Seattle area?
Hi!
The Mountain Loop Hwy is closed, so many of the hiking trails are out of reach. Many people said the Boulder River Trail is great this time of the year but it’s not: I’ve been there twice now and there is too much snow.
Are there any trails in winter (untill May) still open? I don’t mind driving a few hours.
Thanks!

I believe most of the lower trails in the Olympic National Park are open. The Storm King starting point west of Port Angeles has multiple trails starting there (including the easy 30 minute Marymere Falls trail), and it takes less than 2 hours to reach from Seattle via ferry from Seattle or Edmonds and drive across Hood Canal Bridge and through Sequim and Port Angeles).
