Staying at the campground in Newport which is a two mile ride to get to the trail, but there’s a paved trail all the way there. Went a few miles south to St Marks, then north about a mile beyond the northern parking area. More road noise on the northern end, but mostly quiet ride for the southern 3/4 of the trail.
My wife and I rode the trail on 6-22-2025 with gravel bikes . Most of the trail is in very good shape. There are a couple of spots with sand over the trail but most is asphalt. Half of the trail is shaded so recommend morning or evening ride.
Needed a paved trail for a run. Parked at Wesley Ball Park and ran 1.5mi then turned around. Not what I expected based on reviews. The trail itself was good but lots of trash surrounding it and stray dogs on this section.
We rode the trail today October 7, 2024. We got on at the parking lot at 4778 Woodville Highway. Plenty of spaces to park. The trail is very level with nicely maintained asphalt. We even saw a man in a “Gator” vehicle blowing off the path and cleaning the bathrooms. It is almost completely shaded. You cross several small streets with almost no traffic. The path pretty much parallels the Woodville Highway but you don’t have any worries about traffic. I wish we had time to go further into town around the capital. Nice ride!
This park is connected to Tom Brown Park and JR Alford Park. Great place to walk or ride bikes. We rode E Bikes. Bathrooms, water fountain etc. Trails are marked, wide and somewhat smooth. There are exposed roots on some parts of the
We started at the St Marks trailhead with plenty of parking right on the waterway. The trail was nicely paved and safely away from the road. There was plenty of shade trees and bathrooms every few miles. We only rode 8 miles north and then turned back but I highly recommend this bike trail.
This entire trail is about 6-7 miles. Completely gone to crap. Not maintained at all. The town takes great care of their little parks but the bike trail is garbage. Sides are collapsing and many heaves. Many crossing where you can get run over by people running the stop signs. On a special day you may find huge hogs standing you off. Bridge closed off for good. Parking is also very limited. Whoever runs this doesn’t care about it at all.
Parked downtown at Wesley Ball Park and rode the trail. Some shade and some sun along the trail. This is trail is getting attention. There are trail improvements at the airport end and looks like someone has marked road hazards /warning. Thanks!
I began my ride at the North Trailhead in Tallahassee and ended almost 16 miles at the southern terminus in St. Marks. It was a very hot Labor Day but the trail is almost entirely shaded which provided relief from the sun. The trail is entirely paved, completely flat and well marked. There a few cracks in places that might give you a shake but won't cause you to pop a tire. There are many very small road crossing but I can count on one hand how many cars I encountered on them. The one or two larger road crossings were also very quiet. There are many shaded benches to rest and there are about three or four bathrooms along the trail but I can't comment on their condition.
My only complaint is the lack of scenery, its mostly flanked by small homes, brush and runs next to a residential street for the majority of the trail. St. Marks is a great little place to get something to eat along the river and enjoy a much deserved rest.
Good trail from downtown. A number of stops through town. Trail gets rough near the airport, southern end of trail - not good to go fast on road bikes; tree roots lifting the blacktop. Scenic, relaxing ride.
Two of us rode on July 16th, 2022. This was our 2nd foray but this time we started at the parking lot on Fleischman Road. A wide packed gravel trail that is just hilly enough. There are a few open areas but 90-95 percent of the trail is shaded. We logged 14.8 miles on our out and back ride and did not go on any side trails - yet. Available toilet facilities were clean and in good repair. We look forward to riding here on our next visit. Do not depend on water fountains as anything can happen at any time. Bring plenty of water if it's summer. The temp when we returned to the car was 100 degrees F in the open parking lot. The shade on most of the trail made it comfortable to ride.
