MOBILITY WEEK EVENTS (CITY)

Explore the El Rio Trail Story Walk

All week long, take advantage of one of Boca Raton’s most traveled trail – the El Rio Trail! The five-mile, multi-use path takes you through beautiful natural areas full of turtles, great blue herons, owls, butterflies and iguanas along the canal of which it is named. The trail is adjacent to FAU and the Yamato Tri-Rail station running from Glades Road/SR 808 to north of Congress Avenue up to the Gulfstream Canal and is accessible for all. Be sure to check out the special “story walk” to learn about the trail and engage in fun activities!
