Pine Island's unique position in the Gulf of Mexico draws a lot of bicyclists and day-trippers during high season (December-May). Though the main north-south path has plenty of negatives, it's still the best way to reach the more interesting parts of the island, to see SWFL's last remnant of 'Old Florida'. I ride the path on an old steel StumpJumper with good wide tires, which are recommended on Pine Island due to the many bumps and potholes everywhere. Lee County maintenance of the path is minimal, though a project is underway to repair parts of the path's southern section towards St James City (which is not a city at all, but a good place for canal restaurants and bars). The north end of the island, Pineland and Bokeelia, are by far the most interesting places to ride, and you should not hesitate to try one of the many small roads that lead away from the main path. Head west-NW towards the Calusa Mounds for example, or Pineland Marina. Bring water! Th
Teenagers and adult are now frequent with E bikes and motorize dirtbike
including golf Cart off wilsky's trail head. Racing off the grassfield and excessive speed on pave trails while other users are presents i am one of them. I am bringing this to your attention because i think it's getting out of control as a matter it is in my opinion. I have'nt notice any park official addressing this issue. I have seen your notice sign and this people seem to ignore it or dont see it. For the passed two months now they congregate @ 6PM till dark at the water stop. Thank You for attention.
Detour due to bridge closure. I was planning to connect to Bayshore and then the Courtney Campbell. ¿
It opened recently. Its a great trail to walk or ride. Some areas have a lot of people. Then from Fisherman's Village you can follow a trail thru Punta Gorda.
This is not a trail. This is a bike lane on a two lane road on a busy barrier island. In snowbird season it is more crowded with cars.
The paved trail is wide and accommodates its users. My running app indicated the distance is a bit less than 4.5 miles (closer to 4.1) but it was a nice way to spend the morning.
We rode this for the first time today. It was cooler outside so not too many people. It was beautiful!! Highly recommend if you’d like an easy ride.
I grew up driving over this bridge with my parents. It was great fun to ride my bicycle over it as an adult. We parked at Cooper’s Bayou just east of the bridge entryway—a good place to park and ride the entire trail. Whiskey Joe’s was a fun place to eat/drink. Be prepared for crowds there on good weather days. I will ride this trail again next year.
We rode the trail around Dunedin area to Clearwater and on over to Clearwater Beach. We also rode from Dunedin North to Palm Harbor area. The Dunedin area has lots of places to eat/drink right off the trail. Mileage markers are not easily visible. The 20 MPH limit is ignored by cyclists and other people on various wheeled creations. “On your left” isn’t followed either.
My friend and I rode this trail during our February visit to the area. It does get a little confusing down below the city library, but we were able to navigate over to the circular path leading across the water to Clearwater Beach. A beautiful view and a fun ride.
Opinion: electric motor bikes and trikes should be banned from bicycle and pedestrian paths. Dangerous. Ridiculous. Why not just drive a car or truck on the road. What's your hurry anyway? Rode from terminus Sarasota to Scherer State Park and back, around 27 miles, completing the trail as we did the southern part a couple days earlier. Perfectly maintained wide paved rail trail, from city through suburbs, wild woods, and along intercoastal. Flat except from a few steep overpasses. Several crossings on the Sarasota half but well controlled by signals and warning lights. Not too crowded on a February weekday but probably gets busy. A couple of odd things: vast majority of vehicles are electric motor bikes and trikes, many of them ridden by people dressed as Amish. Some fat tired superfast dangerous electric motorbikes
