It's a beautiful ride, however the lack of trail etiquette is something to behold. Everyone is on their own planet and never heed any announced warnings. I almost hit or ran over three dogs and two people due to no situational awareness or didn't know their right from their left. Again, beautiful ride but frustrating.
Started our ride at the north end trailhead and rode south to the causeway. Nice surface, straight, mostly flat trail. Great views of the canals and waterways. 16 miles, great ride.
This trail is destroyed and needs to be repaved. Impossible to skate safely
Easygoing, well traveled trail through beach cities with easy access to barrier Island causeways. Plenty of places to grab a meal near the trail. We tried and enjoyed Salty, Lime Cantina. Causeways provide stunning views of the harbor and were a highlight when we left the trail.
We had a lovely afternoon biking this trail. It's flat except for the handful of times you go over a bridge to cross a busy road. We saw several gopher tortoises along the way, zero alligators so that was good. We rented our bikes from Legacy Bike rental which is adjacent to the trail. We were able to leave our car there which was nice.
Nice trail connecting 3 parks. One park has a nice fishing pier and another one has a beach. The beach park has big covered area with a bunch of picnic tables underneath. Nice ride through oak trees.
Super fun trail connecting three parks. Great for inline skating. Very smooth asphalt. Just a few road crossings. Very nice to see the Gulf. Definitely recommend to all the skaters !!!
We've ridden this trail for more than 20 years. Wildlife is a little more sparse these days, although we did see a deer and a turkey last week. It's a 7 mile one way loop (add 2 miles from the Bruce B Downs parking lot or 0.6 miles from the Morris Bridge Rd. entrance). It's in a fast growing area (New Tampa) but it doesn't take long to get away from civilization. There are some off road trails as well. It can get busy with fast riders and skaters. Parts of the main trail are going to need re-paving soon, but ample water stops and pleasant scenery make this one a lot of fun.
This is our first trail. It was quiet, peaceful & nicely paved. Friendly people walking & riding bikes.
Really pretty trail with great views and not too many inclines. Good workout but also super scenic and a great length. Highly recommend!
And the construction closure zones are quite large, IMO. Best stay off this trail in 2025 if you are biking and want to ride uninterrupted for more than 3 miles. 2 star rating as is, but I've done 15 miles o/b on this trail in the past rather enjoyed it.
