I ride this trail 3-5 times a week. It’s smooth and has shade and bathrooms and great parking.
There really wasn't any good parking at the north end of this trail so I went down to the south end where is a nice park and hiking trails. The bike trail starts out good, looks newer, wide and smooth. However in the 5 miles I road north, there not only is construction going on at most of the intersections, the intersections are 4-6 lanes and not always do the buttons to get the walk signal worked. Not real safe. I don't recomment it, at least starting from the south trailhead. Mayby at the north going south is better....
Parking in Boneyard Beach was a plus, it’s gorgeous. The whole trail is pretty, you run into an abandoned part of the park and weave through shaded oak trees covered in Spanish moss. Partly shaded.
So it be really nice if they’d repair the bridge next to the highway.. I thought that was for pedestrians.. It’s an old road that crumbled and is blocked off. The trail is scenic for being in town. With that being said it’s very busy with intersections and cars!
This is one of the safest well maintained trails. Very few street crossings. Small parts of the trail borders roads but the traffic is minimal. We enjoyed this ride!
There is a bridge crossing over a River, where there were a couple of fisherman, but no other views on this rail trail. You definitely need hybrid or off road tires for the trail as some areas of crushed rock are not for leaner tires. Eventually, this 3mi trail is due to connect with the Satilla River Trail, and it will be a much more scenic trail, I feel,
I am an inline speed skater and a road bike cyclist. I have been skating and biking in over 10 states. This is so far the best trail I have ever been — over 90% distance is shaded, 10 feet wide, most times is very clean, and not hilly at all.
Rode this combined with the Amelia Island Trail. Parked for free just over the bridge at the trailhead lot. There are no bathrooms nor was there water. The trail goes through the beach parking lot on a separate path. It winds through the park after that. It is wide with few crossings, though there are some blind turns. The surface was very nice, and there are informational signs. To get to the Amelia Island trail you must cross a bridge shared with A1A. There is a bike lane on the bridge but on the southbound trip you have to cross A1A twice.
Rode this in conjunction with the Timucsn trail. We went straight at the turnoff toward’s Peter’s beach, following the sidewalk toward the airport for a mile or so. The trail crosses A1A a few times. Cars were very patient. The paved surface was ok with minor root damage. The sidewalk we did at the end was narrow and had some sandy spots. I would skip that if I did it again. There are places to stop to eat, a bike shop, etc. the trail is well shaded.
Rode twice from the eastern terminus. The trail is almost completely flat and straight. There are some crossings at the beginning but they aren’t busy. The trail is mostly shaded and goes through a mix of forests and swamps. I rode over a 2.5 foot copperhead that I didn’t see until it was too late to avoid. There are bathrooms at the eastern end. I think there was a portable toilet at the other end. The trail was all paved and the surface in good condition. There is a train crossing about 3 miles from the western end. On one trip we waited for a couple of trains. Last year we used it and had a train stop on the tracks blocking access to our car. With help from a local we navigated around the train using roads.
A fun skate trail to the Nassau sound. The Boardwalk at the end towards the sound is a bit difficult to skate but otherwise, it’s a good trail :) Beautiful views. Lots of ospreys out. Not too many people on a weekday afternoon. Little Talbot Island State Park was quiet and beautiful
