Pleasantly surprised with this trail! Saw a lot of different types of birds and boats along the river. The pavement was very smooth and there were quite a few benches a long the way. It was a straight shot and rarely encountered traffic. Highly recommend!
This is a review of the 3 mile segment of this trail between Highbanks Road and US17/92. I walk this segment back and forth 3 times a week - 6 miles total a day. I really like it because it's close to my home and is probably the least busy of the trails in the area. It has become very frustrating lately however, because maintenance (which I've been informed is the responsibility of the City of DeBary and not Volusia County) is virtually non-existent. The grass is seldom mowed and when it is, any trash encountered is just chopped and left. The section that runs parallel to US17/92 reminds one more of the county dump than a recreational trail. Most distressing however is the fact it has become a convenient shortcut for motorized vehicles. Point this out to the offenders zipping along and you open yourself up to all kinds of verbal abuse, and today to something that bordered on a personal threat. There never has been signage reminding users of basic trail etiquette and courtesies, and most of the "NO Motorized Vehicles" signs have been knocked down. Too bad because over the three miles there are twists and turns and elevation changes along with unique viewing opportunities - wildlife, trains, wetlands.
Our take on this trail, is we loved it! We started at the south end, stopped at the historic house and pier. The trail is a dirt road that travels along the Indian River. You really feel like you are back in the woods or in the country. The river is along one side and the back yards of these lovely homes are on the other side. There are beautiful golf courses along there as well. We have E-bikes, so we enjoyed the straight stretches to “open them up.” We rode north to the preserve and headed back.
We loved this little trail! Hit it in the morning while staying over on Vero Beach. Short but sweet!
The reviews on Trail Link were mixed but here’s ours! I wouldn’t go out of my way to ride this again. This is a mostly hard packed dirt road. It’s been scraped and wide enough that the occasional car can easily pass. A few soft areas and a lot of washboard sections. Some shaded and some wide open. A few turns and pretty flat. It does offer some views of very nice private homes and the Intercoastal Waterway. About half is open and half nicely shaded. There are 2 road crossings and one is busy Florida Route 510; be carefull here! We started at the Northern end where there is parking lot and a restroom. I plugged in “Bird’s Impoundment Trail” to lead me to the entrance road. The Trail ends abruptly at Old Winter Beach Rd. and A1A. The Trail is on the road built in the 1920s and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Along the road is the Jones Pier, the oldest pier in Indian River County; and Pelican Island, the first national wildlife refuge. A nice guide here: https://visitindianrivercounty.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jungle-Trail-Map.pdf
Been walking the trail for seven years and trail is becoming more and more popular for homeless camps in the woods. Witnessed a man beating a girl. Had a man pushing a shopping cart screaming at me telling me I am walking the wrong direction. More and more trash along the trail and food on benches . All good things come to an end.
I was amazed at the natural beauty of this trail. Very scenic from Edgewater going South. Restrooms in Edgewater were spotless. I liked it and would go again!
Terrific trail along Lake Monroe. Fresh and smooth surface (mostly) and a relaxing ride. Only 4.5 miles long however, but does connect to Cross Seminole trail, albiet at the end with lots of traffic.
I began near the middle at Soldier's Creek Park. I erred in heading northwest with the goal of connecting to the Sanford Riverwalk. Although I made the connection (and loved the riverwalk next to Lake Monroe, I had to ride primarily on sidewalk/trail adjacent to busy roads and commercial districts. The green cross walks and occasional sign aided in following the trail, but I still ended up missing a couple of turns and needed to double back. I am surprised I didnt collide with any cars crossing into offices and stores along the way.
When I made it back to the park (mm 15.5 or so), I continued southwest and found it to be a terrific ride. Few cross streets, open riding and much more interesting scenery. Primarily residential, there were a number of parks, woods, creeks etc along the way. Unfortunately I was running low on sunlight and wasn't able to get to the end in that direction.
I heartily endorse riding this end of the trail. Save the northern end for Sundays or low car volume days.
Paved path runs parallel to the road the whole time. Park in lot at Walgreen’s because there’s no lot at trail head. It was ok.
Not the trail you want to do for you first ride. It was amazing. Did about 21 miles of it. Now other trails are going to be hard to match this one. Saw a lot of wildlife, friendly ebike riders and it was beautiful. Lots of curves, tree covers trails and places to stop. I highly recommend riding this trail
