Confirmed from Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Bridge crossing Tampa Bay with a cycling and rollerblading trail and water views.
What runners say about Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail
“The bridge offers stunning views and a refreshing breeze, although there's no shade along the trail.”
I have wanted to go on this trail for years after years of driving over the bridge to TPA. We finally got our rollerblades and went for it. It was awesome. Enjoying outdoor exercise while enjoying the beautiful view of the bay was priceless. If you haven’t already done this...
Perfect sunset spot and exercise trail! The only thing is: no restrooms and water stations.
I love this spot. It is the best view of the sunset over the water. I ftensee dolphons and sting ray. Such a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the bay! Free parking too!
One of my very places to come and watch the sunset after a long day at work! A great meeting place for active people or just hanging out watching the sunrise or sunset on a hammock!
