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.
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.
Trail closed, drove to get here and found out with signs up at all the crossings in our area.

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