Good Neighbor Trail

one of my favorites in Florida

November, 2024 by brookeypav

I’ve done this trail three times now on different skates. It’s on of my favorite trails on the Coast to Coast Trail & also just in general in Central Florida. It’s smooth. It’s beautiful and peaceful. Never too crowded. Currently open and only a small wet spot but manageable for skaters of quads and in-lines.

Fort Fraser Trail

No parking at Trailheads

November, 2024 by cindypearson2020

We were surprised to find no designated parking at either trailhead ends. We did discover a nice area at the Polk State College trailhead in Lakeland with picnic table. The trail was nicely paved except for a couple spots. Not very scenic but a decent ride.

Good Neighbor Trail

Trail is open thru Brooksville

October, 2024 by sprinkhaan_1

The Good Neighbor Trail was completed thru Brooksville several months ago. It passes thru Tom Varn park (water, restrooms, shelter) and connects to the SR 50 trail going to Weeki Wachee. SR 50 trail also connects to the Suncoast Trail. It has opened up many possibilities for long rides. For example you could start at Blue Run park in Dunellon (Marion County) and ride south 80+ miles, one-way, connecting to the Withlacooche, Good Neighbor, SR 50, Suncoast and Upper Tampa Bay trails, all the way into northern Hillsborough County.

Flatwoods Park Trail

Another really good paved trail

September, 2024 by stevecycles200

The only reason this isn't five stars, is some areas are bumpy. It is close to needing a resurfacing. Excellent shelters that are well spaced with water, real bathrooms, two parking lots, and entrances from opposite ends.

Old Fort King Trail

Only 2 miles is paved.

Courtney Campbell Trail

Great views, mostly flat, minimal shade

September, 2024 by ebonysharie

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.

Starkey Gap Trail

Lot's Of Wildlife

August, 2024 by artofthesol

Even though the trail is only 2.4 miles, we love this trail! It takes you through a rural area where we viewed numerous birds including Sandhill Cranes, Fox squirrels, Deer, Cows, Gopher Tortoises, and Coyote. There isn't much shade, but we were thankful for the clouds & light rain shower. We proceeded north to Starkey Park & crossed the very busy State Road 54. The crossing is west of Starkey Blvd. so we had to navigate this dangerous intersection twice.
