This a decent trail, however it has a few deficiencies that need to be noted. At points where no stop signs are needed (in the middle of nowhere) there are many, and at a couple of busy roads there aren't any. Doh! There is no water at the Jax end, or the extreme west end beyond Baldwin. There is a... More

great biking trail. wide, shady, well-kept paved path. the path is well marked with each mile marker, so if you get tired just turn around. Other bikers are friendly. You will see casually bikers as well as the professional bikers. Everyone respects each other. This is a GREAT trail. Take water.

This is a great bike trail! Take the whole family for an unobstructed & safe ride on the bikes. There are plenty of places to park along the route between Jax & Baldwin.Take a picnic lunch & have a great time!

We have been on this trail several times and we really like it. It's quiet and you see plenty of wildlife while riding along.

The trail is all asphalt, with a dirt side path for horses. It's the old RR bed turned nature trail - great for hikers, walkers, runners, & bicycles. I've even see the roller blade/skaters out on it. Be sure and take a water bottle and bug spray during the mosquito season. There are several spots to park and begin your... More

I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but this trail is the best in the area! It runs perpendicular to all streets. Yes, you do have to cross many streets, but you don't have to breathe the fumes from the cars that are passing right next to you, like on other bike trails around town. The 14 mile stretch is...

One of the best Rail to Trails in the area. This trail is really nice. Wide and paved and long. There is a area that offers a civil war historic area not far off the trail. You will see lots of wildlife also.

This is a fantastic trail that I can take my two boys to and ride with them on a nice paved trail. Many trees cover the trail so it stays fairly shady in many parts of the trail. It's 13 miles one way if you start from the very end of the trail. I love it for the safeness of... More
