This is a beautiful ride with a very nice trail. Lots of cyclists, walkers, runners, and even roller blading. It’s very scenic and I felt safe by myself on this trail.
always a great trail. so well maintained and marked. hence why we were surprised to encounter the large pile of sand close to marker 6160. both our bikes fishtailed. 3 other bikers were stopped. 2 others went to the highway to avoid.
This is our first trail. It was quiet, peaceful & nicely paved. Friendly people walking & riding bikes.
Really pretty trail with great views and not too many inclines. Good workout but also super scenic and a great length. Highly recommend!
Very well maintained. Smooth ride. Approximately 6.5m from Lot 8 to East trailhead. Connects into the Suncoast Trail on the east end. About 80% sun so wear sunscreen and bring water. Saw dear. barred owl, woodpecker. Highly recommend
And the construction closure zones are quite large, IMO. Best stay off this trail in 2025 if you are biking and want to ride uninterrupted for more than 3 miles. 2 star rating as is, but I've done 15 miles o/b on this trail in the past rather enjoyed it.
The route I went on was siren, and well kept up. It's now ine of my favs. I wish it was closer to me. ¿
We parked at Lake Townsen Park, had some lunch at Bree’s Provisions (They close at 2:00) and rode north, out and back for about an hour. The trail is well maintained and goes through beautiful farm country.
Started at Green Pond Trail Head and headed North. As reported, the trail has some pretty big bumps and a few holes, usually near the edge. With the limited traffic on the path, it isn't difficult to avoid them but you do have to keep your eyes on the trail. On 3/28 there was quite a bit of tree trimming and brush consolidation in the 10 miles between Green Pond and Bay Lake and some heavier equipment was staging at the State Park garage near Green Pond so maybe they are going to fix it this Spring.
The 10 miles between Green Pond and Bay lake is a very nice mostly shaded ride through timber with swamp land on both sides. There are 3 bridges about 2 1/2 Miles North of Green Pond which provides a place to watch alligators (this is mating season so you see some but there's a bunch more as the grunt and talk...), enjoy the birds and quiet serenity. At Bridge 2 that day, there is a 10+ Foot alligator nesting with her (soon to be) baby alligators.
North of Bay Lake is very nice and shaded for the 4 miles we traveled (Total round trip of 28 Miles).
Some call this trail 'straight and boring.' I'd suggest that it is quiet and serene, and, because it is straight and wide, you can spend most of your time enjoying nature!
I have seen so many close calls with small children and groups renting bikes and organizing standing on the trail when speeders come down the hill and fly past them. Killarney rentals should come out the side door and not directly onto the trail or slow the traffic down.
