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.
Parked off a dirt lot about the midway point of the trail. Rode west, enjoyed a view of the gulf at the endpoint, then turned around, and road the 6+ miles to the other end. If I had a complaint, it would be that the trail didn't go further.
Not the trail you want to do for you first ride. It was amazing. Did about 21 miles of it. Now other trails are going to be hard to match this one. Saw a lot of wildlife, friendly ebike riders and it was beautiful. Lots of curves, tree covers trails and places to stop. I highly recommend riding this trail
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.
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!
The Good Neighbor Trail was completed thru Brooksville several months ago. It passes thru Tom Varn park (water, restrooms, shelter) and connects to the SR 50 trail going to Weeki Wachee. SR 50 trail also connects to the Suncoast Trail. It has opened up many possibilities for long rides. For example you could start at Blue Run park in Dunellon (Marion County) and ride south 80+ miles, one-way, connecting to the Withlacooche, Good Neighbor, SR 50, Suncoast and Upper Tampa Bay trails, all the way into northern Hillsborough County.
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.
Trail closed, drove to get here and found out with signs up at all the crossings in our area.

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.
It would be nice if some of you realized that E trikes are mostly used by persons that have limitations, there are so few ways that my husband can enjoy the outdoors, this is one way. Not all E bike/ E trike riders are inconsiderate. Thank you
Bumpy ride, & snakes, alligators, egrets, herons, & hawks. A nice afternoon ride.
