Awesome trail. Great place to bike and enjoy the sites. Just needs more critters 🐿¿.
I ride this trail 3-5 times a week. It’s smooth and has shade and bathrooms and great parking.
There really wasn't any good parking at the north end of this trail so I went down to the south end where is a nice park and hiking trails. The bike trail starts out good, looks newer, wide and smooth. However in the 5 miles I road north, there not only is construction going on at most of the intersections, the intersections are 4-6 lanes and not always do the buttons to get the walk signal worked. Not real safe. I don't recomment it, at least starting from the south trailhead. Mayby at the north going south is better....
Beautiful April day in Florida. Drove to this trail and the park the description says to park at was closed today (?) so I parked across the Kingsley on a side street, about 3 blocks from the trail.
The trail is a nice with rolling rise and falls, almost exactly 4.5 miles to the end where the road makes a right. There are alot of side strets that T into the road next to the trail but they it was not busy at all. Not a terribly long ride but a nice one!
Parking in Boneyard Beach was a plus, it’s gorgeous. The whole trail is pretty, you run into an abandoned part of the park and weave through shaded oak trees covered in Spanish moss. Partly shaded.
So it be really nice if they’d repair the bridge next to the highway.. I thought that was for pedestrians.. It’s an old road that crumbled and is blocked off. The trail is scenic for being in town. With that being said it’s very busy with intersections and cars!
We rode the trail from the Florahome trailhead to the Keystone Heights trailhead. This section of the trail is paved, smooth, and well maintained. The keystone Heights trailhead is a little off as it’s basically in between a Wendy’s and a CVS store in the dude of a major highway. Before Keystone Heights, the trail goes primarily through trees and wetlands. There is spotty shade in some spots but otherwise full sun. It’s not a trail for summer time.
We ride the entire trail, and it was beautiful. We went later in the afternoon and saw armadillos, alligators, and assorted birds. The trail is great on a bike, and was a lot of fun in addition to the great wildlife. We will ride it again the next time thru the area. We parked at Central Park (free) and road from there.
I am an inline speed skater and a road bike cyclist. I have been skating and biking in over 10 states. This is so far the best trail I have ever been — over 90% distance is shaded, 10 feet wide, most times is very clean, and not hilly at all.
I set about riding some of the paved sections but I was most intrigued to try the unpaved section from Hampton to New River. I rode the paved section from Lake Geneva to Hampton and back. The pavement is smooth and the section between Keystone and Hampton covers some beautiful country scenery. Highway signage for trailheads and signage at the trailheads themselves could use improvement!!!
As for the unpaved section, a comfortable seat with full suspension comes in handy as parts are bumpy from the ballast rock and some roots.
This rail trail is also part of the Florida National Scenic hiking trail. I saw one pair of hikers on this section. There are two detours required due to removed rail bridges. The detour near Lake Sampson is really minor. The detour over the New River is a much larger detour which I avoided through my routing.
I first rode west from Hampton to Sampson and back then moved my bike via car to New River and road east toward Sampson though I didnt quite reach it before returning to New River. Each out and back section clocks in around 11 miles.
The trail was quite well maintained. Often it was a clear path through a tree canopy as far as the eye I could see. Sometimes it bore through a natural habitat and other times through pine tree farms. This unpaved section is also the most remote. It did require crossing a major US Highway (301) and two different rail lines. If or when it gets paved, it will be the best section on the entire trail. For now, it is for intermediate+ riders.
I had a great 21 mile ride from the Vermont Trailhead towards Palatka and back. The trail was in good shape and I was surprised at how wooded it was.
