Courtney Campbell Trail

The Trail is Open!

February, 2025 by johnhowardchandler

We rode our tandem on the Courtney Campbell Causeway on a bright, beautiful Super Bowl Sunday, 2/9/25. The asphalt still has a few sections where the pavement has been lifted and so is rough, but it is very serviceable with most bumps avoidable. The pelicans were diving and feasting on bait balls across the bay as we rode. The trail was busy, especially near the parks in the causeway, but nothing that a bit of patience didn’t resolve. It is a wide multiuse trail. We used a parking area in Cooper’s Grove Park in Del Oro Grove on the west side of the bay. We rode out and back and explored Safety Harbor (nice!) and some additional areas after our out and back.

Starkey Gap Trail

smooth and great for intervals

February, 2025 by stephaniearias702

Training for a sprint Triathlon and used this for interval training. Not much shade but the perfect length for beginners and early training.

Bayway Trail

good views and way to connect with other trails.

February, 2025 by cy5s7nvcrk

Short trail but a good way to connect with other trails and ride to St. Pete Beach or south to Ft. DeSoto. For another mile or two, pedal around Eckerd College on the way.

West Orange Trail

Decent Trail

January, 2025 by mgelsomino27

The trail is well maintained. There are a lot of road crossings and this in general is poor for road biking with only a few sections that are decent in length without interruption. For those using tri bikes there is essentially nowhere I felt comfortable in the aerobars. This is better suited for more leisurely activities.

Pleasant Hill Road Recreational Pathway

trail

January, 2025 by tholzapfel

Paved path runs parallel to the road the whole time. Park in lot at Walgreen’s because there’s no lot at trail head. It was ok.

Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail

Enjoyed the trailside businesses as we biked from our Airbnb in Dunedin to Clearwater. If the trail gets too busy for you, there's a parallel Edgewater Trail that offers another view on the way back closer to the water. Both were lovely.

Courtney Campbell Trail

Closed for now.

December, 2024 by munecks

Please notify when is open again. Thank you

Upper Tampa Bay Trail

closed for now

December, 2024 by munecks

Be aware it is closed due to the damages of hurricane. Please inform when is re opened. Thank you.

South Lake (Lake Minneola Scenic) Trail

Closed Section

November, 2024 by mattmortefolio

As of 11/24, there was a roughly a1000 foot section of the trail adjacent to the lake that is still closed due to past hurricane flooding. You will have to go on the road to get around it. No longer flooded, just covered with debris which will hopefully be cleaned up soon.

Good Neighbor Trail

one of my favorites in Florida

November, 2024 by brookeypav

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.

Fort Fraser Trail

No parking at Trailheads

November, 2024 by cindypearson2020

We were surprised to find no designated parking at either trailhead ends. We did discover a nice area at the Polk State College trailhead in Lakeland with picnic table. The trail was nicely paved except for a couple spots. Not very scenic but a decent ride.

Courtney Campbell Trail
