Parked in the park on the South side of the bridge and started the trail from there. Road approximately 11 miles to Hastings. Turned right on Main Street and went about 2 blocks and ate lunch at Norma D’s. Great little local restaurant and the sandwiches were fantastic. Headed back the way we came. We had beautiful weather, 78 degrees and a slight breeze. Great ride!
I was visiting my friend and Palakta is her home. I started trail at Hitchcock’s grocery store because best place to park to get right on trail. From this location it was 19.3 miles to end of trail. There is one restroom along the way and it’s about 16 miles. There is the town of Hastings that has restaurants etc. and it’s about 8 miles from Palakta. Once at the end of trail, it just ends and you will see the railroad track and that’s it. You are not in the city of St. Augustine. There is no bench or anything.
Great paved trail. Lots of stop signed but smooth sailing otherwise
Wonderful trail. Do t forget get to stop at Vergi’s Pit Stop in Oak Hill. Best part of the trip!
Easy straight path, wooden boardwalk, and near a lot of coffee shops/stores in Fleming Island.
Today Valentines Day was a gorgeous day for 17 of us Happy Wanderers to ride twenty miles of this trail.
The trail has now been paved from Hampton to Keystone, adding at least 7 more miles to the rail trail. A new parking lot was just finished near that trailhead at Bobby Sheppard Ballpark, and it has a water fountain and restrooms. This new section of the trail is shaded by trees, has smooth pavement, and goes through a cypress swamp and behind several farms, and it is separated enough from the highway that it is a really nice ride. You can see where they are starting to pave the next section to the west, which will eventually connect to lake butler.
I just wanted to provide an update to individuals that have used the trail. Construction to pave the trail west from Hampton has started on January 1st from the CSX railroad crossing west across Highway 301 continuing on the former historic Southern Railway / NS right of way.
Did the entire trail out and back. The east end has some roots and patchwork. The rest of the trail is an excellent condition. Could use better signage where you cross major highways. Be sure to take the new spur over to highway 100. Beautiful ride.
Rode from Palatka to where the trail crosses Vermont Rd about 1.5 miles from trail end. In general, the trail was very good to excellent condition, with the usual root protrusions under the tree canopy . My only real complaint is that there was no signage coming out of Palatka, and no mileage signage at all.Lo
We road from Maytown to Osteen grabbed some breakfast and headed back. (32 miles round trip) The trail is in perfect condition. No standing water. The weather could not have been any better. It was actually a little cool in the morning with the shade but warmed up on the way back with a perfect mix of sun and shade. We saw some large turkeys and a good size alligator on the side of the trail sunning.
