I travel a lot and just started bike riding. I take my bike with me when I don't have to fly somewhere. So as I was in Florida I looked online for bike trails and found Legacy trail. I entered through the state park and rode 14 miles (to the bridge construction and back). What a wonderful ride! Very pleasant day and beautiful scenery. Crossed a couple of lakes and saw some wildlife as well. Not too many bikers, walkers, or traffic. Looking forward to riding this trail again.

Great trail cannot wait until the bridge over US 41 in Venice is completed, although 41 is busy in that area there are traffic lights to get you across safely. once the bridge is completed in Sept it will be virtually non stop from Sarasota to the Gulf of Mexico in Venice. On the trail I have safely seen bob cats, armadillos, turtles, snakes and gators

We went on a Monday, so there wasn't very many people. The Laural Park spur was closed for construction until mid July. So we parked at the state park. This trail is very straight and wide, with wildlife and few cross streets. We would do this trail again.
