Beautiful trail, had a beautiful day. Saw deer on the beach dunes, so cool!
We rode the full counter-clockwise loop starting from the Jekyll Island Campground on the north end. The paved trail is well-maintained and clearly marked for most of the route. Note that once you cross the main causeway road toward the southern end of the island, the path transitions to packed sand and can be a bit confusing to navigate — we went in a circle before finding our way! It's fun, but worth knowing ahead of time. There are plenty of great food stops along the way. Jekyll Island rewards the riders who slow down, look up at the Spanish moss, wander through history, and let the ocean breeze set the pace.
Beach Riding: The hard-packed sand just north of the Beach Village area is rideable and highly recommended — but check tide charts before heading out. Timing matters.
I rode from Larry Carroll park in Baldwin at the western end to the eastern end at the Amazon distribution center. I did pass by a snake on the trail. Be sure to take your own water and snacks. There are no facilities between these 2 points. The park in Baldwin has no facilities. There was a bathroom at the eastern endpoint by the Amazon place. Otherwise a nice, quiet, smooth ride for most wheeled creations.
Easy straight path, wooden boardwalk, and near a lot of coffee shops/stores in Fleming Island.
This would be an excellent biking trail. I ran it, and it was pretty exposed the majority of the time. There was a great shady section the last two miles near Boneyard Beach.
On a recent trip, I jogged the first two miles up and two miles back of the eastern end at Imeson Road. Was a joy as the trail there is straight, no curves, and no elevation changes. Have to occasionally stop for street crossings. The only thing wrong is there are no benches other than at the trailhead.
Today I rode about half of the Jacksonville-Baldwin trail in NE Florida. The weather was in the low 70’s and mostly sunny. Much better than my home in Ohio right now.
I was very impressed with the trail. The path is asphalt paved, and appears to be 8 - 10 ft wide. It’s flat enough to calibrate against—not really, but my elevation varied less than 50 ft.
The trail runs beneath a canopy of mostly pine. The air has a wonderful scent. It was pretty busy for a weekday afternoon—if felt like a safe, secure place.
The parking facilities at the Jacksonville trail head were in good shape. There is even a rooster who acts as parking lot attendant—greeting (or perhaps shaking down) each cyclist. All in all a great experience. I’ll ride it again the next time we pass through.
Great trail, but had a dog chase me on my bike, closer to the Amazon district parking, just before the trees canopy and you’re done passing houses. Anyone else run into this issue?
Ride has it all, beaches, driftwood, marinas, spanish moss dripping all over the island.
This trail was perfect for a gentle ride with my 11-year-old granddaughter, who has never been on a longer trail. Flat, smooth surface. We parked at Otis Road and went a few miles toward Baldwin.
I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of scenery while roller-blading this smooth trail. Keep a keen eye out for low hanging spiders’ nests! I passed about 4 or 5 of them. One of them, my hat caught the corner of it, and I took some of the web with me, lol! I started my journey at the Little Talbot Island State Park, where I parked my vehicle. I then proceeded north on the trail. I travelled all the way over the boardwalk, and then bridge to Amelia Island, then returned the way that I came.
