New Trail Reviews

I’ve skated this trail so many times. Brought my speed teammates out here and they enjoyed it. Seen a bobcat before. Lots of deer. Such a smooth and fun trail

Did the entire trail out and back. The east end has some roots and patchwork. The rest of the trail is an excellent condition. Could use better signage where you cross major highways. Be sure to take the new spur over to highway 100. Beautiful ride.

It's a beautiful ride, however the lack of trail etiquette is something to behold. Everyone is on their own planet and never heed any announced warnings. I almost hit or ran over three dogs and two people due to no situational awareness or didn't know their right from their left. Again, beautiful ride but frustrating.

This trail is just past the West trail down the dirt road. Nice parking area, but we wrote our bikes all the way from the park entrance. 15.5 miles out and back. Rode down to the Fakahatchee Hilton! Sat on the dock and looked at all the gators swimming happily in their pond. Beautiful swamp area! We were in the middle of the drought so the trail was muddy and a few spots, but mainly dry. Met an experience hiker that said the west Trail was really lush and beautiful, but we ran out of time!

Good trail. It really goes forever. We saw no real trash or homeless. There were other bikers and walkers in this area. No shade so definitely a winter ride.

We parked at Thunderbird Paseo Park. Seemed safe with others parked there. This was just sort of exploring for us. We rode north for 2 1/2 miles and on TrailLink it shows the trail ending but it flowed right into the Stadium Trail. That ended at a busy street but I’m sure you could have crossed the road to the other side of the canal. We turned around and rode back past the park for several miles. Another busy street. Crossed the bridge on a safe sidewalk separated from traffic. Rode up the other side of the canal. You can cross the river bottom at several places and go back and forth. bottom

Beautiful expansive connected trails that will keep you riding for at least 28 miles. Perfect December weather. Coming back for sure to take more in.

Rode from Palatka to where the trail crosses Vermont Rd about 1.5 miles from trail end. In general, the trail was very good to excellent condition, with the usual root protrusions under the tree canopy . My only real complaint is that there was no signage coming out of Palatka, and no mileage signage at all.Lo

The path in some areas were easily accessible and shown however coming from takoma the signage was not very well maintained…the bike trail was on side and the signage on the opposite side. Luckily I know the area to get to the actual trail. Other than that, it was a pleasant bike trail.

Loved this trail. Overall, I would rate the pavement quality as being very good. Yes there are some bumps and lumps, but that is to be expected when you’re riding deep under tree canopy. And yes, there are some hills! But this is central FL! expected for Central Florida.

This was a short but well maintained trail. No roads to cross which was a big plus in my book. Tunnels under the roads gets you across the roads. Roads are very busy here so was very thankful for the tunnels.

Trail was in very good to excellent condition. The boardwalks are starting to show some wear. You can ride to the far southern end of Mashes Sand Beach for some beautiful views.

The paved trail was in good to excellent condition. I did an out-and-back from Munson Hills TH (about 30 or 32 miles total). The scenery was pleasant, and the trail not crowded for a Monday afternoon winter ride. I certainly appreciated the ongoing trail maintenance.

I just rode a portion of the trail from West Trenton to 2 miles north of Stockton. The path was a packed gravel path wide enough to drive a car down. The grade is very minimal the section I rode on. There are great views of the Delaware river the entire way. I would suggest browsing around the town of Lambertville. There are many quaint shops and restaurants to visit.

This is a great trail to walk or bike. There are no steep hills but, plenty of scenery and wild life to see. Don’t forget to look at the Pennsylvania rail road station at the trail head.
