evergladesrogg.org - River of Grass Greenway
A multi-use pathway across Florida's Everglades along the Tamiami Trail, proposed by Naples Pathways Coalition (NPC)
Everglades River of Grass Greenway - ROGG
The goal of the ROGG is to extend from Krome Avenue (eastern edge of Everglades National Park near Miami) to the outskirts of Naples/Marco Island (western terminus to be determined). In the middle, there will be a three mile spur to Everglades City.
A steering committee comprised of individuals from greenway advocates, environmental groups, local communities, and government agencies is presently working on stakeholder involvement and corridor planning.

1 rate What is the River of Grass Greenway (ROGG)?
Parallel to the Tamiami Trail (US. 41), the ROGG will be a hard-surfaced 12-14 foot wide corridor (separated from the highway) suitable for a range of non-motorized recreation activities such as bicycling, walking, bird-watching, photography, fishing, and general enjoyment of the greater Everglades natural area.The goal of the ROGG is to extend from Krome Avenue (eastern edge of Everglades National Park near Miami) to the outskirts of Naples/Marco Island (western terminus to be determined).

Focus on Education, Sustainability, and Involvement
ROGG is much more than a recreation corridor. An important facet of the pathway is the potential for environmental education and stewardship. The pathway will be designed and built for sustainability, with acute awareness of potential environmental impact. Addressing the needs of citizens, local businesses along the pathway, and governmental and tribal officials is crucial to the conceptualization and development of this unique greenway.snookcity@evergladesROGG.org
