After getting down there and running Ding Darling trail we ended on the bake path the goes back up to where we parked. We then saw signs stating class 1 e-bike only. If you have a class 2 be aware that there are signs posted that you are not allowed to run the bike path. Was very disappointed as we don’t use the throttle on any bike trails and did not know this was going to be an issue.
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
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.
I started riding my bike at the Six Mile Cypress parking lot. When I got to Daniel’s road, I didn’t know where the trail went so I turned left. Then, you start running into busy intersections & a shopping center at Tamiami Trail Rd (Hwy 41). I turned around & went back to my car. Looking at the map now, I see that the trail continues north, past Daniel’s road, which is pretty wide. Not sure where you cross at. I’ll give it another try.
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"
This was my first ride on this path in over twenty years with a e-trike and I think some of the people who ride e-bikes need to slow down. Some speed up the bike path at over twenty mile per hour and some do not even let you know that they pass you by with out a word or even ring the bell on their bike. I yell out passing on your left and even ring my bell,
The path is what it is a path to enjoy the day out in wonderful Florida.
Was a great ride, very busy with, bike walkers, jogging etc. Can’t wait until they complete two bridges under construction that will take you above highway and avoid cross walks
Be very careful on this ride. There is minimal separation from vehicles, and there are lots of commercial vehicles, like lawn care, pool, care, remodeling, etc. Even though you were close to the water, you rarely see water.
