McQueen's Island Trail
GA - 5.8 miles
Surfaces: Gravel
The wooden nature walkway is currently under construction for safety reasons (they completely removed it) and I’m not sure when/if it will be reinstalled but I hope so. It was a nice little, brief excursion through the woods. The rest of the path is paved and perfect for a walk, bike ride or skating. It’s nice to have in my backyard
saw a heron :)
Its only real use is to link up with Notre Dame University.
The newest addition to the trail nearly makes it a full circle. The CCT is one of the state’s best biking trails. It weaves it around the country side through some wooded parts of the area. The terrain can be a challenge as it is a fairly steep grade to tackle on a hot and humid day. All I all, it’s a great trail to ride.
It’s worth the fee for crossing over the causeway! There are parts that wind through the subdivisions and parts that ride along a very busy road- but riding safely on the trail. We’ll definitely return for another ride! Several public accesses to beaches. It’s a beautiful island!

Great paved surface, used by riders and walker/runners. Nice and wide, well marked. A few road crossings with crossing signals and several “overpasses “ over really busy roads. Definitely worth the ride!
It’s a natural extension off the Legacy trail. Good pavement, well traveled. Highly recommended!
Nicely paved, several street crossings. There and back 16+ miles. Great ride!
It’s ideal to ride this on the car free days. It can get a bit crowded at peak times in the day, but more sparse early or late in the day. Beautiful views and wildlife frequently seen. 5/5
We rode this trail in June last year on our e-bikes . Beautiful bridges and woods. My only advise is to use tick spray and don’t stop to long. The ticks were really bad . Use protection definitely.
Parked at Rio Vista Community Park. If you cross the little bridge at the park and turn right (north) the New River Trail is 7.5 miles to the north end so a nice 15 mile round trip. Beautiful flowering trees/trail surface great.
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.
At the east end of the trail cross Canal St. and make a right. Trail/sidewalk runs along Canal. Cross rt 44 into Venetian Gardens where there is a beautiful path along Harris Lake.
We rode from Croom to the south end of this amazing trail. Smooth asphalt, shaded by a canopy of trees it was a quiet place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.
Nice trail. We rode only 10 miles from Dune Allen Beach to Grayson Beach and back, limited by time and weather. We're in our early and late 60s. Easy ride. Pavement in good shape. Varied seashore properties kept our interest plus some good nature. In January path traffic very light.
