Trail was in very good to excellent condition. The boardwalks are starting to show some wear. You can ride to the far southern end of Mashes Sand Beach for some beautiful views.
I did 16.4 miles today on my bike. I started at Ochlocknee Bay and rode up to Medart (8.2 miles). I had lunch at Hamaknockers BBQ and rode back to the car. The trail is very good. You end up on the side walk or street as you pass through Panacea and must cross Hwy 98. It is fine as long as you’re careful. I would be a little nervous with smaller kids, but I really enjoyed the ride and the BBQ was excellent.
About a mile of sidewalk in Panacea. Trail proper picks up again at intersection with Division St (south bound), where there is "casual" parking across the street.
We really enjoyed riding this trail. Long spaces of curvy trail. I was confused in Panacea, FL, since there were several road crossings. Not much for shade. Plenty of gas stations on the route & a rest area when it intersects with St. Marks trail.
This entire trail is about 6-7 miles. Completely gone to crap. Not maintained at all. The town takes great care of their little parks but the bike trail is garbage. Sides are collapsing and many heaves. Many crossing where you can get run over by people running the stop signs. On a special day you may find huge hogs standing you off. Bridge closed off for good. Parking is also very limited. Whoever runs this doesn’t care about it at all.
Parked at Lighthouse and went west. Instead of main road (with path), we traveled a mile or so on the road next to Blue Parrot (great grouper a sandwich and wings). Recommend visiting Nicks Hole. Great observation area. We were fortunate enough that guard opened the gate in the private community. There are paved bike trails, that go alimony the entire length thru the neighborhoods closest to the beach. We actually made it all the way down to the jetties. Lighthouse to the jetties and back was about 18 miles.
Park at Salinas Park as you come into the Cape. bathrooms, covered screened picnic tables. Easy 8-9 mile ride down to the state park. Stopped at Longbills restaurant about 7 miles down on the right next to the fire station. Blackened chicken tacos were amazing! Amazing gulf and bay views the entire ride. Less than a mile from Salinas Park, there is a trail to the right that takes you to an overview area of the bay and Black Island. Pretty awesome view around sunset.
Have to agree, not marked well. We parked at the nursing college hoping that it would not be a problem. Did enjoy our ride into town had a very nice lunch at Sisters restaurant. Would do it again
We rode the trail from Panacea at a closed shopping center all the way to St Marks trail. Nice 18 miles one way. The trail was asphalt, great shape and recently mowed edges. Wish Ga had these trails near us. Very impressed!
The trail is now completed through panacea to the ochlockonee bay bridge. In the town of Panacea the trail turns into a sidewalk. But as the trail and sidewalk is new the ride is smooth. 36 of us rode the trail this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed being able to ride all the way from downtown Tallahassee to Sopchoppy without riding on the road. We now have four trails that connect together to make this possible. The capital cascades trail from down town Tallahassee meets up with the St Marks Trail which connects to the coastal trail. The coastal trail takes you all the way to the ochlockonee bay bridge where it meets the Ochlockonee Bay trail.
There are now 17 miles of trail completed. It stops just before Panacea. I would recommend starting early as there is very little shade. The trail is in excellent shape.
