Great ttail. Follow it from Titusville to Lake Mary in March 3026. Other trails were also rode.
Parked in the park on the South side of the bridge and started the trail from there. Road approximately 11 miles to Hastings. Turned right on Main Street and went about 2 blocks and ate lunch at Norma D’s. Great little local restaurant and the sandwiches were fantastic. Headed back the way we came. We had beautiful weather, 78 degrees and a slight breeze. Great ride!
My husband and I rode this trail today (3-31-26) and had a great experience. The trail is well-maintained and the downtown area is so cute. We stopped a couple of times for lunch and coffee. I would highly recommend this trail. Beautiful trees and open spaces, with lots of rest stops throughout the ride.
I was visiting my friend and Palakta is her home. I started trail at Hitchcock’s grocery store because best place to park to get right on trail. From this location it was 19.3 miles to end of trail. There is one restroom along the way and it’s about 16 miles. There is the town of Hastings that has restaurants etc. and it’s about 8 miles from Palakta. Once at the end of trail, it just ends and you will see the railroad track and that’s it. You are not in the city of St. Augustine. There is no bench or anything.
Great paved trail. Lots of stop signed but smooth sailing otherwise
Wonderful trail. Do t forget get to stop at Vergi’s Pit Stop in Oak Hill. Best part of the trip!
Today Valentines Day was a gorgeous day for 17 of us Happy Wanderers to ride twenty miles of this trail.
The wooden nature walkway is currently under construction for safety reasons (they completely removed it) and I’m not sure when/if it will be reinstalled but I hope so. It was a nice little, brief excursion through the woods. The rest of the path is paved and perfect for a walk, bike ride or skating. It’s nice to have in my backyard
After years of traveling to Central Florida to visit theme parks, this December I convinced my family to spend a day on bikes as a break. We rented four bikes from Bikes and Blades at the Killarney Station and rode almost halfway (10 miles) down the trail towards Apopka. The width of the trail was superb for family bike riding, with a smooth asphalt surface throughout. Signage was clear and easy to follow. Downtown Winter Garden is a true gem. We stopped on the way back, parked our bikes and explored the many restaurant and shops. I plan to come back and ride the full length of the trail, including the connections to Lake County to the west.
Did the entire trail out and back. The east end has some roots and patchwork. The rest of the trail is an excellent condition. Could use better signage where you cross major highways. Be sure to take the new spur over to highway 100. Beautiful ride.
Rode from Palatka to where the trail crosses Vermont Rd about 1.5 miles from trail end. In general, the trail was very good to excellent condition, with the usual root protrusions under the tree canopy . My only real complaint is that there was no signage coming out of Palatka, and no mileage signage at all.Lo
