Really pretty trail with great views and not too many inclines. Good workout but also super scenic and a great length. Highly recommend!
And the construction closure zones are quite large, IMO. Best stay off this trail in 2025 if you are biking and want to ride uninterrupted for more than 3 miles. 2 star rating as is, but I've done 15 miles o/b on this trail in the past rather enjoyed it.
Parked at the Shamrock Nature Center. The waterway park trail south of the water meets the south end of the legacy trail. Ride north to Osprey Point trailhead, about half of the Legacy Trail. Trail is an excellent ride, very popular
It is a dream ride, all paved, scenic views from beginning to end. Stop off at Whiskey Joe’s for dinner or cocktails. Sandy beaches to sit on - easily make a day of this one trail and not wear yourself out.
We started at the Pinellas Trail North, the beginning point, and rode 10 miles out to John Chestnut Park. The first 2.5 miles runs alongside a preserve so quiet, scenic & very family friendly. The rest of the ride was along the highway so continual road noise although every major intersection had a button for the crosswalks, the trail is well paved & wide. There was no signage for parking at the trail head or restroom facilities. Signage to guide you to Tarpon Springs is also very limited.
We rode our tandem on the Courtney Campbell Causeway on a bright, beautiful Super Bowl Sunday, 2/9/25. The asphalt still has a few sections where the pavement has been lifted and so is rough, but it is very serviceable with most bumps avoidable. The pelicans were diving and feasting on bait balls across the bay as we rode. The trail was busy, especially near the parks in the causeway, but nothing that a bit of patience didn’t resolve. It is a wide multiuse trail. We used a parking area in Cooper’s Grove Park in Del Oro Grove on the west side of the bay. We rode out and back and explored Safety Harbor (nice!) and some additional areas after our out and back.
Most of this trail is closed due to the 2024 back to back hurricanes. Was a beautiful trail.
Short trail but a good way to connect with other trails and ride to St. Pete Beach or south to Ft. DeSoto. For another mile or two, pedal around Eckerd College on the way.
Rode from North Port to Sarasota. Great ride. Trail head in North Port is on Price Bl. Ride up to connector then down to Nokomis to Legacy. From there, left to Venice or right to Sarasota.
Short and flat. Nice quick ride along intercoastal. Ridden a number of times. Connects to Legacy Trail at Venice Rd and can ride up to downtown Sarasota. I recommend both trails.
This is a bike path for people that want to get out and enjoy a ride in Florida on a sunny day with no snow and no below zero. You all have a nice day on your bikes and tell every one that you can enjoy Florida and be a "SNOW BIRD" just like us when we go up north on vacation we are called "SANDBIRDS FROM FLORIDA"
