Great path for a long peaceful bike ride. We went on a very hot early September day after lunch and the breeze did help provide some coolness but the lack of shade definitely wasn’t as helpful. The park area is very serene but not as many beach views as I was hoping for. Parking is $6 now inside Fort de Soto park, but you should be able to park for free outside the park and ride to the park as there are paths every where. Super convenient restroom inside the park as well as beach access.
I would start in Floral City and head towards Gulf junction trailhead. Great scenery and places to stop. 44 miles there and back!
It sure was a cool ride—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect way to disconnect from the outside noise and reconnect with what really matters. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
This trail would be amazing if Pasco County had budgeted to make parking areas at the major road crossings. This includes Ridge Rd., Shady Hills Rd. and Countyline Rd. If you want to park at the trail, you have to drive to SR 54 or to Hernando County. Or you can get ticketed by Pasco County Sheriff's Office for parking under the overpass at Shady Hills Rd. For such a nice trail, it is almost completely inaccessible to Pasco County residents.
Beautiful scenery, peaceful vibes, and miles of nature to explore. Sometimes the best adventures are right here in our own backyard! ¿¿¿A Must Do!!!
Started at Shamrock Park. Plenty of parking. The trail is exceptional. Turtles, snakes and iguanas....Diverse landscape.
Wife, special needs adult son & I had been in Jacksonville all week for a law enforcement conference in nearby Atlantic Beach. We were planning to leave Jacksonville on Friday afternoon, overnight in Savannah, before getting back to our home in NC. Found this rail trail while searching bike trails around Jacksonville. Sounded promising, especially the part describing fair amount of shade available, as this would make Mid July a bit more bearable. Started out at west end point & we rode to east end in Baldwin. Discovered the "everyone welcome restaurant" where we grabbed a nice relaxing lunch. Good food & friendly folks. Wife & son hung out in Baldwin, while I made return trip to our vehicle. Weather was hot, but beautiful scenery more than made up for it. Saw a big turtle on the trail, near the west end. A good day's ride, would recommend highly & would definitely ride again if back in town. A nice conclusion to our Florida trip.
Nice long trail with wildlife and lots of shady canopy cover which is great in the summer. Saw an otter, tortoise, armadillo and many owls. Great time!
We had a great day on this path, it’s a little confusing to get to but well worth the effort.
The Sanibel path is enjoyable for bicyclists of all skills levels: just remember to drink plenty of water, even on a cloudy day. It's a great way to visit Bowman's Beach and to leave the cars far behind. Residents and visitors on nearby Pine Island (Bokeelia, Pineland, St James City) would love to have a beautiful bike path like Sanibel's, but Lee County has never funded real improvements to the old Pine Island path, which is long overdue for an upgrade. Sanibel continues to set a good example of how a shared use path can be enjoyed safely year round, while vehicular traffic just keeps backing up for miles sometimes. ¿¿
I have ridden dozens of trails across Florida over the past several years and this one was by far the most confusing. I wanted to go from Lake Monroe trailhead all the way to Delon Park.. to get in close to 50 miles roundtrip.
It starts out great with mail markers along the way then off of a sudden you have to cross a major intersection, and pick up the trail where there is no signage the rest of the way.
I had to stop multiple times to check the online map to find the various turns and such that I had to make to stay on a trail. Then it just ends. The description does say there is a "gap"... but when you get to the end... you literally are at a dead end... nothing to tell you where or how to pick up the rest of the trail.
So I just went back to Lake Monroe and got a little over 30 miles.
Lake Monroe to Delon Park
