Started at Shamrock Park. Plenty of parking. The trail is exceptional. Turtles, snakes and iguanas....Diverse landscape.
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
Beautiful trail. We started at Peterson Park on the North end of the south half of this trail. It had all we look for in a good ride. Restroom at the trailhead, only one big intersection, wide paved trail through a covered quiet wooded area (mostly) and smiling congenial bikers and walkers. 14 miles there and back. After 365 miles this trip to Florida, it was the best trail!
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.
