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.
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.
One of the other reviews mentions “the views on top” of the bridge. The trail does NOT go up the Skyway Bridge, but stops well short of the beginning of the incline. Do not be misled by that statement.
Simple paved trail around the lake. Enjoyed watching the rowing practice and the wildlife (birds). Lots of people biking and walking but plenty of room!
Rollerskated this entire trail. The first mile was amazing asphalt quality. It’s gets a little rough, but never intolerable. Lots of amazing views and great nature. Saw iguanas & manatees by the fishing pier at the end. Just a few intersections but they aren’t too busy. A couple clean facilities along the trail with restrooms & water fountains. Very neat trail and would recommend!
We just finished about 14 miles (round trip) yesterday. We really enjoyed it even though we encountered a little rain. Trail is straight, smooth, and well kept. We also rode the Boca Grande, not a fan! If you want a nice ride, ride the Cape Haze.
City/suburbia paved trail and also on road bike lanes both sides 4 of 10
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.
Great walk with wild life and excellent views of the rowing lake.
We rode this trail yesterday, and really enjoyed it, there really isn’t any place to park at the beginning of trail on the north side. You really have to go to the southern end of the island and use one of the parking areas there. It worked out fine though as it allowed us to also stop over to the beach when we were done. Much of the trail runs through the center of the island and it is nice because it doesn’t immediately border the road. However, it is pretty heavy with golf cart traffic so you have to watch out for the. We saw many Iguanas and a couple of turtles. We also took a little side trip out to a fishing pier where there was an old railroad and lots of people were fishing and then we also took a side trip through one of the neighborhoods at the very north end of the island where there are some very beautiful andexpensive homes.
