FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.—If you’re visiting Florida this season to escape the cold and you’d like to have a fun and fit adventure while experience some of that warm outdoor weather, South Florida Adventures magazine has come up with recommendations for travel adventures in the region.

They include mountain biking at Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah; exploring the byways of the Tamiami Trail, including Turner River Road and the Florida Trail; diving reefs and wrecks off South Florida, including Sky Cliff near Boynton Beach and the French and Molasses reefs off Key Largo; kayaking Miami’s Oleta River; learning about Native American life while hiking and visiting the Long Key Nature Center in Davie; biking from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale along A1A, and trying a stand-up paddleboarding workout, a fitness craze that literally consists of standing on a board and paddling your way through calm water.
