There is a bridge crossing over a River, where there were a couple of fisherman, but no other views on this rail trail. You definitely need hybrid or off road tires for the trail as some areas of crushed rock are not for leaner tires. Eventually, this 3mi trail is due to connect with the Satilla River Trail, and it will be a much more scenic trail, I feel,
I am an inline speed skater and a road bike cyclist. I have been skating and biking in over 10 states. This is so far the best trail I have ever been — over 90% distance is shaded, 10 feet wide, most times is very clean, and not hilly at all.
Rode this in conjunction with the Timucsn trail. We went straight at the turnoff toward’s Peter’s beach, following the sidewalk toward the airport for a mile or so. The trail crosses A1A a few times. Cars were very patient. The paved surface was ok with minor root damage. The sidewalk we did at the end was narrow and had some sandy spots. I would skip that if I did it again. There are places to stop to eat, a bike shop, etc. the trail is well shaded.
Rode twice from the eastern terminus. The trail is almost completely flat and straight. There are some crossings at the beginning but they aren’t busy. The trail is mostly shaded and goes through a mix of forests and swamps. I rode over a 2.5 foot copperhead that I didn’t see until it was too late to avoid. There are bathrooms at the eastern end. I think there was a portable toilet at the other end. The trail was all paved and the surface in good condition. There is a train crossing about 3 miles from the western end. On one trip we waited for a couple of trains. Last year we used it and had a train stop on the tracks blocking access to our car. With help from a local we navigated around the train using roads.
A fun skate trail to the Nassau sound. The Boardwalk at the end towards the sound is a bit difficult to skate but otherwise, it’s a good trail :) Beautiful views. Lots of ospreys out. Not too many people on a weekday afternoon. Little Talbot Island State Park was quiet and beautiful
This is a fairly good trail for skates but watch out for a dirt section that goes around a mile. You can go in the road if it isn’t too busy. Probably a better trail for bikes but still fun to in-line skate
This trail is Great, we camp in the campground, and toured all the sites on the island by bike, great trip
I have rode this a few times now since I live right here. It’s nice, convenient, and everyone I come across on the trail has been friendly and will say hi and or wave to you. You can veer off the trail and go up into the many neighborhoods to get some extra miles in if you would like.
It has been a week since the storm came thought, The Trail is a Mess!!! Needs to be cleaned up right away.
Doctors Lake bike Trail was my first bike ride since I started biking again. It’s not very scenic except for the animated faces on some of the trees that line the trail. The people that were out either bike riding or jogging or just walking were all very friendly. It was nice to see other people out doing activities.
Since moving to Fernandina Beach from the Florida west coast, we had been looking for a good trail at a decent length. This is a perfect route with very few driveways and the ability to really get your heart rate up. Plus, the scenery is amazing! We are in love!
