Description
The Lehigh Trail is located in Flagler County on an abandoned railroad corridor comprising 195 acres. The railroad spur once carried cement and other materials to and from the Lehigh Portland Cement Plant in Flagler Beach. The trail connects US 1 north of Bunnell with Colbert Lane, running through the center of Palm Coast, through Graham Swamp and ending just west of the old Lehigh Portland Cement Company. Surrounded by trees for most of the way, the trail provides a safe, non-motorized way to travel among the cities of Bunnell, Flagler Beach and Palm Coast.
In the 3,000-acre conservation zone of Graham Swamp the trail has elevated views of the surrounding wetlands. Watch her for some of Florida's wildlife species, including wading birds, waterfowl, deer, otters, foxes and alligators.
Parking and Trail Access
The trail has three access points: Colbert Lane, Old Kings Road and Belle Terre Parkway, all of which are approximately 1.5 miles north of SR 100.
Parking on the western end is available at the intersection of Royal Palms Parkway and Belle Terre Parkway, and on the southwest side of Palm Coast. The trailhead is just south of Royal Palms on the east side of Belle Terre.

I ran this while on vacation visiting friends in Palm Coast. It's a little tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area, but it's worth it. The west end of the trail has a parking lot and is easier to find for out of towners. Just look for the ...
