Jogged the length of the trail recently in two separate runs. The bay portion very scenic, other parts tree covered and provide some shade. It goes through a couple of parks where there are benches and water fountains.
Well marked trail. Do have to cross over Drew St and 60, which can be a bit hazardous. Out in the open, no shade. Connects to the Ream Wilson Trail at the ballpark.
No signs, street crossings are not working! When they are working the cars don’t obey. One has to sometimes get off the bike to push the button to cross the street. Not for kids at all!
I just rode this trail and it’s very nice. The one problem is the trail bridge is out so you have to run the sidewalk to cross the 4 line road. Once you cross the road and get back on the trail it’s nice and easy.
City/suburbia paved trail and also on road bike lanes both sides 4 of 10
The trail is nice mostly flat and well marked. I felt very safe riding the entire trail. You will go through a little part of Hoodish area but it’s very short. I recommend the trail and you can catch another trail on the way.
I rode this trail yesterday 03/03/24 and it was amazing. I can’t wait to ride it again.
The trail is over 6 miles long if you start at the Starkey Park Bike Trailhead. The map on here that starts at Long Leaf is inaccurate. If you started at Long leaf and followed the path it would take you about 5 miles just to get to the park.
The park is free with ample parking and mostly good signage. There is a bathroom and water station at both ends of the nicely paved trail. Be on the lookout for snakes and tortoises on the trail!
Perfect trail for families with young children in their bikes
Nice flat trail. Lots of access points and bathrooms, benches, and picnic tables along the way. We didn't see very many people on a Saturday afternoon. We did see a gpher tortoise and black snake. No shade, wear your helmet/hat and sunscreen.
Great walk with wild life and excellent views of the rowing lake.
