It's no good closed.

Courtney Campbell Trail

Great views, mostly flat, minimal shade

A good trail for me as a beginner. There are benches scattered throughout to take breaks, but not much shade

Oldsmar Trail

A Messed Up Ride

August, 2024 by artofthesol

Beginning at the Oldsmar trailhead to Mobly Bayou Park.
It was a messed up ride: one minute you’re riding through lovely parks, then suburbia, then along the bay, then suburbia, & so on.
It went on & off like this throughout the whole ride. Signage was lacking for the most part, so be prepared to guess…a lot. Mobly Bayou Park is a lovely, but small park on the bay, with a wilderness preserve that has a one mile shelled path/trail.
Note: There is an extremely busy & dangerous intersection where three major roads intersect (Forest Lake Blvd./State Rd. 580/St. Petersburg Dr. W.) & this is where the crosswalk is located! We headed across cautiously with the "walk signal" & were nearly run down by careless drivers. Upon returning, we crossed at a much safer alternative.

Duke Energy Trail

Fun trail

Short but fun trail!

Oldsmar Trail

This trail stinks!!!

August, 2024 by catnim2615

Follow this trail, I dare you to try. The trail stop, and starts, no signs! Try and follow it, I've tried 3 XS, I couldn't. I give up! This trail is on my never again list.

Druid Road Trail

Safer Gulf-Bay connector

August, 2024 by mperry9996

This trail is a godsend when going from Bayside Pinellas (Ream Wilson/Old Coachman) towards Clearwater Beach, safely filling the gap rather than gambling high bush driveways on GtB, Drew, or Bellaire. The end at the beach does take take an eye out as the Pinellas trail is not super apparent.

Longboat Key Bike Trail

Active road, lots of traffic

July, 2024 by webster84

Be very careful on this ride. There is minimal separation from vehicles, and there are lots of commercial vehicles, like lawn care, pool, care, remodeling, etc. Even though you were close to the water, you rarely see water.

Skyway Bridge Trail

Misleading reviews

July, 2024 by dskmd3

One of the other reviews mentions “the views on top” of the bridge. The trail does NOT go up the Skyway Bridge, but stops well short of the beginning of the incline. Do not be misled by that statement.

Nathan Benderson Park Trail

Simple paved trail around the lake. Enjoyed watching the rowing practice and the wildlife (birds). Lots of people biking and walking but plenty of room!

Cape Haze Pioneer Trail

Skating by Manatees !

June, 2024 by brookeypav

Rollerskated this entire trail. The first mile was amazing asphalt quality. It’s gets a little rough, but never intolerable. Lots of amazing views and great nature. Saw iguanas & manatees by the fishing pier at the end. Just a few intersections but they aren’t too busy. A couple clean facilities along the trail with restrooms & water fountains. Very neat trail and would recommend!

Cape Haze Pioneer Trail

Nice Ride

June, 2024 by cjbkmb

We just finished about 14 miles (round trip) yesterday. We really enjoyed it even though we encountered a little rain. Trail is straight, smooth, and well kept. We also rode the Boca Grande, not a fan! If you want a nice ride, ride the Cape Haze.

Courtney Campbell Trail

Courtney CampBell trail

June, 2024 by tiffanyblack5

This was our first time and we came on Fathers Day Sunday and arrived around 12pm and parked at Ben T Walton beach I think it was called and it was perfect spot to unload our e-bikes and ride. Parking was $7 for 4 hrs but we were done in 2 but it was really nice and the breeze off the water kept us cool! We were gonna hit the beach after but we needed to get home but u def could have done both! Also we loved it because there was hardly anyone on it :)
