This is a broad paved trail traveling within the Duke Energy powerline corridor, stretching 2.4 miles from the SR 54 to the Pasco/ Pinellas County line. This stretch of trail is actually strategically important, connecting the Starkey Boulevard Trail to the Pinellas Trail. The Starkey Gap trail was the final piece needed to complete the portion of the Coast to Coast Trail within Pasco County and opens up trail users to hundreds of miles of multiuse trails.
As of Spring 2020 there is no trailhead on the trail so it's safest for people can bike in from the connected trails.
I love the newly completed Starkey Gap Trail. It opens up a whole new world of trails from north of 54 to the south. Speaking of, 54: A bridge over that road is imperative. It is such a dangerous crossing. I am confused as to why the crossing is west of Starkey Blvd because it forces you to navigate the dangerous intersection twice.
I live right near this trail and so happy it opened. It has a nice paved, smooth surface and the views are great. It connects the Starkey Trail to the Pinellas trail, so you have access to 100 miles of pure trails.
