Trail was in very good to excellent condition. The boardwalks are starting to show some wear. You can ride to the far southern end of Mashes Sand Beach for some beautiful views.
The paved trail was in good to excellent condition. I did an out-and-back from Munson Hills TH (about 30 or 32 miles total). The scenery was pleasant, and the trail not crowded for a Monday afternoon winter ride. I certainly appreciated the ongoing trail maintenance.
Yes there are many crossings throughout the 3 miles…maybe 4 or so crossings but a quiet easy ride. There was a bike fixing station next to a water fountain along the ride that my husband used to tighten his brakes which was making a loud noise. This was cool. We parked at the Ray Wishart Trail Head 2919 US-231, Panama City, FL
Great trail, allow plenty of time to explore as much of the trail as possible. Different terrains to keep the trail exciting. Went in November so the weather was great and it wasn’t crowded at all. We parked at the Frank Brown Park for free and had a nice ride before we made it to the conservatory. There’s trailhead parking closer to the conservatory by the bathrooms but not as much parking.
Staying at the campground in Newport which is a two mile ride to get to the trail, but there’s a paved trail all the way there. Went a few miles south to St Marks, then north about a mile beyond the northern parking area. More road noise on the northern end, but mostly quiet ride for the southern 3/4 of the trail.
but is too short. I rode from Hwy 231 entrance crossing several streets including Hwy. 77, and they were all safe. The paintings on the walkway near the Hwy 231 entrance are entertaining. Met joggers, bicyclists and others walking. Hope the trail will be completed all the way to old oil terminal soon.
It's a nice little trail, or could be, but it's obvious that the town has just let it deteriorate - Watch out for broken down edges, and bad root heaves.
The bridge at the Sam Atkins park (north end) is permanently barricaded, and looks like it's been like that for a couple of years.
If you want to ride the trail, start at the Neal Landing (south) end, at the riverside park, and ride north a couple miles, to dead end at the closed bridge.
At this point, I think the trail is mostly just used by locals, as a shortcut through town.
I really enjoyed this trail. Lots of different entry points and nice wide trail. A few streets to cross but they are spaced out. Will be riding here more
This is a really great idea but not a great design. I've used other rails to trails and this one is paved. Some are not. The problem with this one is there are too many streets to cross. Depending on which trail head you park at you have to cross East Ave, Mosley Dr., 26th St., Minnesota Ave,, Timbers Crossing, Hwy 77, and one or two more. It's only a 3.1 mile trail from end to end. I use it a lot on my bicycle and walking and I'm surprised no one has been hit by a car yet. (Or at least I haven't heard of any crashes) There are crosswalks and yield signs as well as stop signs but many vehicles don't stop for pedestrians or bicycles in the crosswalk so USE CAUTION at the crossings. I'm sure it's safer on the trail than it is on our roads, I have lived here for 25 years and this really is a nice trail I just wish the road crossings were safer.
We rode the trail today October 7, 2024. We got on at the parking lot at 4778 Woodville Highway. Plenty of spaces to park. The trail is very level with nicely maintained asphalt. We even saw a man in a “Gator” vehicle blowing off the path and cleaning the bathrooms. It is almost completely shaded. You cross several small streets with almost no traffic. The path pretty much parallels the Woodville Highway but you don’t have any worries about traffic. I wish we had time to go further into town around the capital. Nice ride!
Our first trail rode. Well designed path. Will ride again.
