Did not ride the complete trail but it’s August in Florida so… We did enjoy the part we rode from the nice little park in Elkton to East Palatka. I wish we could have crossed the St John’s River but it was just a bit too far. The next time we’re in the area we can complete the journey!
I can’t say enough good things about this trail. Yes there were some rough patches along the way but that can be expected with asphalt. Overall beauty was great nice facilities along the way. My grandson and I rode the complete trail and back also rode the spur trail up and over the bridge which was fun. We will be back when visiting St Augustine.
The west end of this trail meets with the Cross Seminole Trail. You can cross the St John's River into Volusia County now. Good ride.
Skated the entire trail plus the new section not shown in the map. Amazing asphalt for skating on in-lines and outdoor quads. Did 19 miles overall. Very green and beautiful. Lots of amenities on the trail. Everyone was friendly. Just a great gem of a trail.

This is a great trail, but it's not perfect. It meanders through several cute neighborhoods, towns, and wooded areas with a diverse array of pleasant scenery (woods, charming homes, open vistas, etc.). Stations and outposts all along the trail provide better amenities than most other trails. With just a few exceptions, shade is ample. The trail is very popular and can get quite crowded, especially between the end point at Killarney Station and the Apopka-Vineland outpost. Once you get past the Apopka-Vineland Outpost (heading east from Killarney Station) and turn north, the crowd really thins out and it's much easier to travel. Naturally, crowds are heaviest on weekends and when the weather is mild. The trail is in good shape for the most part, although there are places where it is noticeably bumpy due to root incursion. My biggest complaint is the number of road crossings - there are a LOT. Some of them are very busy with automobile traffic, and some of them are quite rough. All in all, though, it's a very pleasant trail, and I would certainly ride it again. It's important to note that this trail is relatively long. I have ridden the entire trail, and my observations apply to the trail as a whole. Some observations may not apply to certain sections of the trail.
It’s not an amazing trail by any stretch of the means…it’s basically a deluxe sidewalk to Daytona Beach from Ormond. Skated the entire distance and jumped onto the Sweetheart Trail after. Still, it’s very cute set with the palms and water. Nothing to go out of your way for though.
skated this trail after finishing the Halifax River trail! It was an easy way to add a few miles onto my trip. The path is very pretty and clean! Decent quality for skating.
This u a decent quality trail for quad & in-line skating. Skated from the Palatka end to the St.Augustine end near 95. It’s about 42 miles both ways for me. The bridge is difficult on skates but otherwise, the quality is fine. I enjoyed Hastings a lot…although watch out for wind beforehand because that open section can be brutal on a windy day. Otherwise, the worst part is the highway intersection. Saw a copperhead about a mile from the St.Augustine end so watch for snakes !
Skated the full trail on my quad skates :) very nice. Starting in Titusville was neat and not too difficult with intersections or lights. The trail is smooth so perfect for my skaters. Easily was able to keep over a 10 mph pace on my skates. Great quality and I love long trails. Also love the fact that it connects to Spring to Spring so I continued there until DeBary. Saw a corn snake, gator, lots of storks, and some ospreys on the Titusville end.
Did the entire trail (both fragments) at 52 miles on rollerskates. Great surface and one of the best long trails in Florida for skates. Beautiful scenery. Saw bald eagles, an owl, a couple of deer, and lots of gopher tortoises. I will say that the northern fragment has like no place to park. I parked at the National Refuge but that isn’t an official trailhead. Additionally, the northern leg has some areas that are just sidewalk vs actual path. Still enjoyable !
Pick a cloudy day and maybe a mountain bike. Lots of gators and birds. We started from the green mountain trail head and I would start at one of the other trailheads instead. They spent so much on the trail head that there is no money to maintain the trail and the first two miles are extremely rough.
