Description for Dyer Park Perimeter Trail
The perimeter trail is a fast and fun 4.3 mile trail locate in West Palm Beach. It's tight in some spots with a ton of switch-backs and isn't very technical, but does have a few technical elements in spots when you least expect it. The pace is what makes this trail a blast. Lots of shade throughout. It is however not well marked. The first 2-3 miles was great but towards the end you're not really sure where the trail is anymore as the trail vanishes in lieu of an access road. Not marked from that point on "Go here to finish"...you just gotta stay on the perimeter of the park and you'll eventually wind up back where you started.

Follow the signs to the baseball/softball fields, pass them and keep going towards the back of the park. No starting point either the perimeter trail or the "hill" trail is clearly marked. Park as far west as you can, take a small access road across the canal and you should see a small trail sign.

The perimeter trail is switchback city and is very sandy. It is basically flat and has almost no technical obstacles. There are quite a bit of roots on it. This trail is a good for a lunch break or after work but I would not travel to get here. The trial is also not marked really well and often has riders going the wrong way on it. The 2nd trail is on the old landfill and starts at the top of a good sized hill. The trail winds its way down, up, back, and then down again over and over switching back and forth till you have gone all the way around the hill. If you are looking for an aerobic workout this is for you. Your legs will burn from this ride. You will have to watch out for people walking the trail and for loose sand when it is dry out. Plenty of parking and good restrooms, no bike wash though.
