The Druid Road Trail is a vital link in Pinellas County’s extensive trail system, connecting two of its most prominent trails: the Pinellas Trail, which stretches for close to 50 miles from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, and the Duke Energy Trail, which is a 22.5-mile trail in Clearwater. Both trails are part of the eventual 75-mile chain of trails, known as the Pinellas Trail Loop.
The Druid Road Trail is nearly four miles long, paved all the way and is accessible to the many residents of Clearwater whose neighborhoods border Druid Road. The trail's surface resembles a wide sidewalk and offers a smooth, off-road experience.
There's parking on the southwest corner of Turner Street & East Avenue. Take the Pinellas Trail from there south to Druid Road and then head east to connect to the Duke Energy Trail.
Trail is mostly a wide sidewalk paralleling the road, so not much for scenery, but a welcome connector to better trails on both ends. Used the Druid Road trail to ride between the Duke Energy / Wilson Clearwater / Courtney Campbell Causeway trails to the Pinellas Trail. Easy to find and navigate and a welcome alternative to riding on the road.
this trail goes along a sidewalk that’s really wide for bikes. It’s great to connect to the Pinellas Trail, but it’s not at all scenic. It is a functional trail to connect to a better trail. I am very grateful it exists so I don’t have to ride on the roads.
We felt very safe on this trail during our ride from Courtney Campbell Trail to downtown Clearwater and onto the beach. It was well marked.
Road from Clearwater Beach to Tampa and back today. This trail is a key piece. Everything was well signed and clear. That made for an enjoyable ride. There are some busy at grade crossing but the crossings at easy with push buttons and crosswalks.
