If you park near the “Pensacola Beach Ball Tower” and start your ride from there all the way through Fort Dickens it comes to about 20 miles. Beautiful ride with a safe bike lane most of the way. The old fort is not much to look at, but it is still a great ride. It is costly to go into the park via bicycle. I think it was $15 unless your military like me and then it is free.
The trail appears in process of being repaired. It needs it. I think my gravel bike with larger tires helped out. I parked at Lagoon Park some 1.8 miles west of 59. Rest rooms and great parking with view of little lagoon. So wished the trail would extend farther west.
Pretty 5 miles. More of a town ride. Being fixed and upgraded, Nov 2020. One medium hill.
Gulf State Park is wonderful trail riding. Rosemary Dunes has parking lot and bike rental at one end.
Gulf state park is the best trail riding! This is a lovely, peaceful mile.
Absolutely beautiful! Love how it links to so many more trails!
Just rode the trail from Village Point Park Reserve to downtown Fairhope, about 8 miles one way. Not much change from what previous reviews describe regarding the condition of the trail and obstacles/traffic you'll encounter. It's a beautiful ride but you just have to be prepared to NOT have a smooth ride, and to ride at a casual pace (unless you're on a mountain bike). Fairhope is a great stop-over with some good restaurants, but beware of Monday closures. Also a nice area to go off trail and explore.
I run these trails almost every week! They are beautiful and never get old.
One of the most beautiful trails in the park. A few inclines, but not difficult! Well worth scheduling a ride or walk.
