Description:
The Black Creek Trail is bicycle and pedestrian trail in Clay County that parallels U.S. 17 south from the Orange Park city limits to Black Creek Park just north of Green Cove Springs.

Use extreme caution when crossing the several intersections along the trail. Be especially cautious when crossing the intersections at Pace Island and CR 220 at Eagle Harbor. Vehicles turning right don't always respect the "walk" signals and the walk signal timing is very short.

Nicely maintained trail!

"Having just moved here from Atlanta, we love this trail which winds through beautiful woods on both sides of trail at times and over scenic marshland. We love it. Be careful crossing at many intersections however."
Not my favorite trail
By Tracy Didas on November 30, 2003
"This trail has way too many street crossings for my liking. The automobile drivers tend to not care if you are crossing the path. To them, it's their road and the path is just a path.

Stop & Go

"This is the most poorly signed trail I have ever been on. Most of the intersections have both a stop sign and a walk/don't walk sign. The crossing at Eagle Harbor Parkway has a small stop sign about a foot off the ground in front of a crosswalk that the cars don't respect. Then the walk/don't walk sign is on an island in the middle of the intersection.

The other major problem is that the landscapers that take care of the large negiborhoods that this trail borders use the path as a road. Watch out for golf carts, mowers and utility trucks."
