There is a bridge crossing over a River, where there were a couple of fisherman, but no other views on this rail trail. You definitely need hybrid or off road tires for the trail as some areas of crushed rock are not for leaner tires. Eventually, this 3mi trail is due to connect with the Satilla River Trail, and it will be a much more scenic trail, I feel,
Rode this combined with the Amelia Island Trail. Parked for free just over the bridge at the trailhead lot. There are no bathrooms nor was there water. The trail goes through the beach parking lot on a separate path. It winds through the park after that. It is wide with few crossings, though there are some blind turns. The surface was very nice, and there are informational signs. To get to the Amelia Island trail you must cross a bridge shared with A1A. There is a bike lane on the bridge but on the southbound trip you have to cross A1A twice.
A fun skate trail to the Nassau sound. The Boardwalk at the end towards the sound is a bit difficult to skate but otherwise, it’s a good trail :) Beautiful views. Lots of ospreys out. Not too many people on a weekday afternoon. Little Talbot Island State Park was quiet and beautiful
This is a fairly good trail for skates but watch out for a dirt section that goes around a mile. You can go in the road if it isn’t too busy. Probably a better trail for bikes but still fun to in-line skate
This trail is Great, we camp in the campground, and toured all the sites on the island by bike, great trip
Since moving to Fernandina Beach from the Florida west coast, we had been looking for a good trail at a decent length. This is a perfect route with very few driveways and the ability to really get your heart rate up. Plus, the scenery is amazing! We are in love!
This is one of the best trails in North Florida. It traces what used to be part of the Buccaneer Trail. It is 9 miles one way from end to end so you can ride 18 miles out and back. TrailLink needs to update their map. Plus it connects to the Amelia Island trail for another 10 plus miles.
This trail is a nice wide path that runs around the island in wooded area and along the beach. It is a beautiful ride. The trail is crowded in places on the weekends.
I am not sure where the 5-star ratings are coming from- maybe we only saw the worst part, but we were unimpressed. We only did the southern tip of the trail. It is a wide sidewalk, separated from the road by a grass median strip that is only about 2 feet wide at parts.
The concrete was not in the best shape, and in a couple of places where the concrete had heaved, they had not milled them to make them safer for folks on smaller wheels, like scooters or rollerblades.
There were numerous street crossings, and the "trail" runs in front of stores and gas stations.
I think the best thing about the trail is that it connects other sidewalks, so if you live or stay in the area you can get to places without adding your car to the already heavily traveled streets.
This was a terrific ride. Just beautiful. And the trail conditions are excellent. Once again, another outdated TrailLink map. The map as of March 2024 shows incomplete sections all along the A1A. That is wrong. It is a continuous run all the way up to the Crady Pier bathrooms.
Way too many road and driveway crossings, noisy roads, and the white-knuckle major bridge crossing with interstate-speed traffic, all really diminish what would otherwise be a five-star trail.
