For bike and walkers, what a wonderful trail! I love the pedestrian bridge over US 41 By Pass.

Legacy Trail is on the old Seaboard Railroad track bed. It's a paved 26 mile smooth, paved trail from Sarasota to Casperson Beach in South Venice. The biggest "hill" the bridge over US 41 (Tamiami Trail) in Venice. There are several street level crossing that have traffic lights so they can be crossed safely. The biggest parking lot is at...
