Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail

Good for running

April, 2024 by joenad55

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.

Duke Energy Trail

Nice trail

April, 2024 by joenad55

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.

Clearwater Memorial Causeway Trail

review from a tourist

March, 2024 by luv_mlb25

So I ran this trail back in August 2023. The pictures submitted here on this site are very inviting, however, not valid. Yes, there is a spiral around the area of the trail, however, it is NOT part of the trail. That being said, I ran the spiral down to what I thought was part of the trail, only to get lost and realize that I had to run back up the spiral to get to the actual trail which then crosses the bridge. The sights, however, are amazing and I can't wait to run this trail again when I return in the fall. Once you get across the bridge and closer to the beach, there is more traffic, so keep your eyes and ears open. Great trail. Lots of sunshine and wide paths and beautiful flowers.

Oldsmar Trail

A WASTE!

March, 2024 by jsb3144

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!

Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail

Nice trail

March, 2024 by jpjjt

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.

Longboat Key Bike Trail

not a very sicenic

March, 2024 by pdmts

City/suburbia paved trail and also on road bike lanes both sides 4 of 10

Druid Road Trail

Nice

March, 2024 by jpjjt

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.

Duke Energy Trail

Great Trail

March, 2024 by jpjjt

I rode this trail yesterday 03/03/24 and it was amazing. I can’t wait to ride it again.

Courtney Campbell Trail

Family Friendly

March, 2024 by dolsonfamily2013

Perfect trail for families with young children in their bikes

Cape Haze Pioneer Trail

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.

Upper Tampa Bay Trail

Great Skating Trail

February, 2024 by brookeypav

Did the entire trail (both ends) on quad skates (24 mile total). Amazing surface quality for skating. Lots of cute landmarks especially the old railroad bridges. Very enjoyable…except the random landfill bleh. But lovely trail. Definitely fun for the fellow skaters
