Our first time on the trail today — we found the trail itself well paved and easy to follow. Having come from 30 min away to bike it tho, maybe didn’t feel totally worth the trip. There are semi-interesting parts passing air field, golf course and stables, but also some noisy stretches paralleling highway (and of course less exciting if the blimp isn’t there). Seems nice for locals for sure but maybe not worth a trip.
This was an awesome ride. Several people walking, biking and rollerblading. Certain areas were a bit congested but over all had a great ride.
Nice. Quiet, clean and safe. I parked on the south end per the instructions and it was about 5.6 miles each way.
This is a lovely idea, high quality concrete trail bed. However, this path is interrupted every several miles by major high volume road interchanges. Get off and carry bike over high curb busy streets. That’s after figuring out where to park. Cypress canal is some kind of drainage ditch, there are pumping stations along its route, ‘nuff said. Serious bikers should avoid this nonsense. Fine for walking (but must walk to crosswalks to get across busy streets) if objective is long walk.
Too many intersections, you ride a mile then need too cross abustle intersection. Construction caused us to stop and restart in another area. Disappointing
Road 23 miles today, path is narrow and intersections are busy but doable. It was a beautiful December day.
I would say very few people have been on this trail as much as I have. It is my favorite running trail. I would use it for slow, casual biking but there are good bike paths in the shoulder of A1A if you’re trying to generate some speed. From Spanish River Blvd to Palmetto Rd and back is about a 5 mile run. Depending on your fitness, there’s a good wide path from the Deerfield Beach border all the way to Atlantic Blvd in Delray Beach.
I have just returned home after completing the 106 miles from Key Largo to Key West. After reading some of the reviews here I was a bit concerned with making this trip. While I agree that there are a number of surfaces you ride along the way that include sidewalks, trails, and roads, I found all quite manageable and safe. There is debris in spots especially on bridges but nothing more than I find riding my local roads. If you haven’t ridden on busy roads prior this probably is not the trip for you. We woke up early and crossed the Seven Mile Bridge around 7 am on a Friday and traffic wasn’t too bad. There is a big enough shoulder that you can maneuver around debris and still be safe. In the end The trail exceeded my expectations and I look forward to doing this trip again in January.
It was great riding this trail in family. At the end you can find a Publix or a Plaza, and take a break there. Then go back. We park at the point where the App says. We started in the morning, so we lunch subs from Publix at the end of the trail. We saw many iguanas, turtles, ducks, birds, and many others animals. You can take a break any time you want under the trees. Maybe this is not a trail for super riders, but it is nice for a family ride.
Did the entire trail this past Saturday (10/17) and it all went pretty well. Didn’t see much wildlife unfortunately. However do wear long pants and sleeves as the horse fly’s were all over us. Made for some frustration.
