In the last week of May, I parked my car at Kiplinger Nature Preserve and started my ride from there. There is a small parking lot that fronts right up to Kanner Highway and from the lot it is a short distance to the bottom of the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Last Sunday I rode my bicycle from Shepard Park over to Rio Nature Park. I decided to take Old Dixie and cross over the Old Roosevelt Bridge.

The bridge opened while I was crossing which gave me an opportunity to watch some dolphins and gaze at boats. I suggest you follow Old Dixie crossing over the railroad tracks when you reach Alice Street, then turn left and it is a short distance to the park.
