Doesn’t show all bike trails. In fact missing quite a few.
About 2 of the 6 miles are decent for inline skating. The rest is tolerable, but it's in need of resurfacing.
We rode from Oscar Scherer State Park to the south end of Venetian Waterway Park, about 19 miles round trip on mostly level (except for a couple steep overpass ramps) on perfectly paved surface, through tropical woods and along the intercoastal. Real nice in February. Probably very hot in summer. Only "complaint" is 90% electric bikes.
It’s worth the fee for crossing over the causeway! There are parts that wind through the subdivisions and parts that ride along a very busy road- but riding safely on the trail. We’ll definitely return for another ride! Several public accesses to beaches. It’s a beautiful island!
Great paved surface, used by riders and walker/runners. Nice and wide, well marked. A few road crossings with crossing signals and several “overpasses “ over really busy roads. Definitely worth the ride!
It’s a natural extension off the Legacy trail. Good pavement, well traveled. Highly recommended!
Nicely paved, several street crossings. There and back 16+ miles. Great ride!
Rode this one today for the first time in a couple of years. It's a nice wide track and on a weekday, not too busy. You are out in the elements the whole way. There is virtually no shade, so sunscreen and water are a must, especially in the hot months. Being so near the water, it is windy more often than not. Lots to look at including historical areas and of course beaches and piers. Food and drinks are available for purchase, although there are no free water stations that I have seen.
Great trail, tremendous trail, believe me! You can ask anyone, the trail is one of the best! I’ve been on many trails, this one is tremendous.
Parking, water, and restrooms are available at the South Trailhead at 14608 Ben C Pratt Six Mile Cypress Parkway (the trailhead is shown on the map but parking, etc, are not indicated). On the Apple Maps app, put in “Daniel’s Buckingham Trail” to see the location of the Daniel’s Parkway dirt parking area. To cross Daniel’s Parkway go west to the first traffic light and use the crosswalk.
The paths are very long, well maintained, and scenic. Roller skating around and along the pond is a delightful experience.
