Doctors Lake Drive Bike Path

Right here in my neighborhood

November, 2024 by v9qn96jppj

I have rode this a few times now since I live right here. It’s nice, convenient, and everyone I come across on the trail has been friendly and will say hi and or wave to you. You can veer off the trail and go up into the many neighborhoods to get some extra miles in if you would like.

State Route 21 Multiuse Path

What a ride!

October, 2024 by asimpson50

Wow! What a ride! I’ve just recently started bicycling again. So I have been breaking my rides down into half or less to get back into shape. Today it was quite windy. The trail had a few hills that gave my legs a good workout. My intention was to bike for only 4 miles then turn around. But before I knew it, I had completed the 7 mile trail. The trail was challenging, but exhilarating! I saw a few cute shops and restaurants that I want to go back and explore. Anyone looking for a challenge on the trails, this is it for you.

Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail

Could not locate the Palatka trailhead

October, 2024 by r.e.olson1

Drove 30-plus miles to try this trail. Did not see ANY signage Route 100 West outside of Palatka for accessing the trail. It was noted on maps as being west of the Palatka airport. Drove a large distance looking for any signage or improved access point with area parking. A big waste of time. Please add signage for the trailhead on Route 100!

It has been a week since the storm came thought, The Trail is a Mess!!! Needs to be cleaned up right away.

Doctors Lake Drive Bike Path

Dr.’s Lake Drive Bike Trail

September, 2024 by asimpson50

Doctors Lake bike Trail was my first bike ride since I started biking again. It’s not very scenic except for the animated faces on some of the trees that line the trail. The people that were out either bike riding or jogging or just walking were all very friendly. It was nice to see other people out doing activities.

Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail

It’s really a great trail!!

September, 2024 by geegee6519

We started (10:30 am) at Twin Lakes Park In Keystone Heights (has nice picnic tables and clean restrooms), they should have a sign here. Out of parking lot turn right (left is toward Keystone- to Hampton) we headed toward Palatka. We rode 12.5 miles out to Baywood, few miles past Floraville - cute place stop, with restrooms and tables. On way out the first 2-3 miles is lots of sun, after that good shade and more sun. Mile 3 from twin lakes park is the Sunoco gas Station, mile 8 is a circle K gas station. We did see a small Black bear on trial. I road a regular road bike and hubby on his Ebike. The trail conditions were great! Only time I heard traffic was if a semi came by your in the trees. It’s not bad.

Withlacoochee Bay Trail

Good trail for shorter rides

September, 2024 by robinjackson459

This is a great trail. If you don’t have all day to get a work out. It goes along a beautiful canal that leads to the Gulf of Mexico. The complete stretch round-trip is a little over 13 miles. There are areas where there’s beautiful views and several places to stop to take in the scenery. We also saw a lot of wildlife. Well maintained. Good for riding bikes, horseback riding, or walking.

Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail

Keystone Heights to Palatka Segment

August, 2024 by 85osprey

I rode this a couple of weeks ago, starting at the Florahome Trailhead, approximately 10.5 miles east of the Keystone Heights Trailhead. This segment is in real good condition, although there are quite a few tree limbs hanging down that need to be trimmed back. Even with an early start, most of the trail was under the Sun. It is approximately 12 miles from Florahome to the end of the paved trail, a few miles west of Palatka. I've now ridden the entire paved section from Hampton to Palatka, approximately 31.5 miles. Surprised at how lightly traveled this trail is compared to the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail which is only 14.5 miles in length.

Palatka-to-St. Augustine State Trail

Nice Trail

August, 2024 by gerbie53

Did not ride the complete trail but it’s August in Florida so… We did enjoy the part we rode from the nice little park in Elkton to East Palatka. I wish we could have crossed the St John’s River but it was just a bit too far. The next time we’re in the area we can complete the journey!

Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail

parking just west of palatka airport

July, 2024 by esqbarger

You will see parking area just a little ways past the Palatka airport Wonderful trail quiet, smooth, shady Beautiful old oaks and gentle streams No major road crossings

Ichetucknee to O'Leno Trail

Yes it’s the paved trail that runs along the highway

July, 2024 by rbz28hz9pp

Drove to south entrance of Ichetucknee State park and it was not clear where the trail began, so we went to the north entrance, which is NOT the right place. Drove to O’Leno State Park and noticed a paved trail along the high meat again.
