    I had a great time riding the upper Tampa Bay trail. It's not well marked, so I had to pull out my phone a few times. But it is lovely. There wasn't too much traffic on the trail, so it was easy to ride without worry. Much of it is next to a canal. It also passes through a few parks if you need a break.

    We took a stroll here late one afternoon. Great place to walk, even better for riding bikes.

    Beautiful experience , My 1st time here , i just recently started riding my electric bike , great park , there were shaded areas throughout which in Florida is definitely a plus ! not too crowded . I did visit on a weekday there was access to restrooms, very clean and stocked , well kept . Will be coming back again .

    Good for picnics, lots of grass and space to find a nice spot in the sun or shade. A river with manatees swimming by. Good spot to relax and read a book or give yourself a break

    One of my favorite bike destinations. A little less than 30 mins from home in St Pete, it's all country with no automobiles for miles. Over and under little rustic bridges and "♪...down by the riverside...♪" Always available shady parking for $2 and rest rooms.

    I love this trail and so does my dog! It’s clean, quiet and a very relaxing. We have seen manatees and of course several types of beautiful birds. We go for 3-5 miles walk every chance we get. When you walk along the water channel, there are always fish jumping.

    Great place to rent a canoe or kayak, fish, take kids to see the small nature center or playground, nice people work here. Overall always a great experience. Hope to rent a pavilion next year as well.

    The trail is CLOSED but the website says nothing about it and the bridge is out for a year? Seriously bad and no one answers the phone for the department in charge.

  • 5/5 Nataly I. 1 year ago on Google
    Super Love this trail. Discovered it by driving by. It’s very wide most of the way. The bathrooms are clean. The sights and wildlife are great. Glad I found it. I’m definitely coming back!!!
