If you are training for a marathon, this is one of the best long run trails. It’s clearly split so there isn’t ever really any traffic, it’s shaded about 80-90% of the time, and the views are lovely. People actually say “hello” versus on the beach where I usually run, people look at you like you’re nuts. Parking at the north entrance is easy, 2 hours free from 8am to 10am. Downsides: There weren’t any restrooms or water fountains anywhere. If you are running anything over 6 miles, bring a hydration vest and make sure that you don’t have to use the bathroom
Great trail. No cars. Lots of nature
Nice straight trail by a canal . You can see ducks , birds and fish. It cross some roads but it cars respect the bike cross . Only 2 not great things :1- no close by parking ,2- No shade so come prepared
Arrow straight for 7 miles along a canal, watch for the wild life. Route back has curves but nothing crazy. Great ride, but bring water, No shade .
This is a peaceful trail in the middle of busy surrounding, much like Virginia Gardens itself. It’s lit at night. Surrounded by nice neighborhoods.
Narrow asphalt path with lots of walkers. Not sure where 2.2 miles came from. Even up and back was only 1.4. I did notice a patch south of the dog park as I was leaving.
The only thing this trail needs is a bathroom somewhere. We had a nice breeze off the water. Well worth the trip to get there though.
This is a great ride! Maybe not for everyone— you have a wide, smooth, bright green lane to yourself, but it is adjacent to a busy roadway. That’s plenty good for me. The state park at the end of the trail is very nice, and no traffic there.
This is not a trail, it is a route around some nice parks connected by sidewalks along local roads, some quieter than others. TrailLink map is not especially helpful, it doesn’t even mention that the section along Orange Road and that canal actually starts and ends much further than mapped for the Robbin’s Vista View Trail and is nicer than many of the other street/sidewalk loops shown. A turn by turn with street names is badly needed. I’m
West end is nice concrete, flat ride an wide path but with several road crossings. These crossings require short rides along a 5’ pedestrian walk and the crossings have heavy traffic……pay attention. The easterly end is not a trail, but mostly a road edge ride or on pedestrian walks. This section really should be removed from the mapped trail as it is unsafe and promotes illegal pedestrian walk riding. West end is great spot for locals and adjoiners.
Started at the north end by parking at the Hilton and meandering over. Pavement is awful between there and the Congress crossing. Avoided it on the way back. Rest of the path is manageable or really nice. Enjoyed the scenery. And iguanas. Would get out earlier next time to avoid some of the heat but there are shaded spots to stop. If I did it again, I may park near the tri-rail station or the Costco. Never found the guest parking near the university.
