Confirmed from Egan's Creek Greenway 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.
Nature center featuring marshy trails, plus birds, turtles and alligators.
What runners say about Egan's Creek Greenway Trail
“Very well maintained and you can easily see plenty wild animals .”
“This is a beautiful trail along a waterway with birds looking for fish.”
“Trails are well marked, plenty to explore on both the North and South sections, love that this area is preserved.”
“Relaxing, wide open vistas, wildlife everywhere you look if you're quiet.”
“tons of wildlife, nice easy trails.”
Nice spot in a residential area. Lots of birds and we enjoyed the creek running alongside the trail. Plenty of benches to sit a watch the birds. Bridges have some history in the railway which was neat to read about. It got somewhat busy as we were leaving around 11 am.
I love this trail, always wild life to see and it is clean. Please be careful and respectful to the animals it is their home. Trail runs for a few miles down the length of the island. Starts at Hotel on Sandler Rd and runs all the way to the Fernandina park near the light house on A1A near main beach.
Lovely trail. A little scary with the gators in the area, but it wasn’t bad. Paths could be better marked to distinguish between the walking path and bike trails. But overall, a nice trail.
Mad at myself for not travelling the entire Greenway before now. Relaxing, wide open vistas, wildlife everywhere you look if you're quiet. We have our own peaceful and in places, gorgeous Everglade in our backyard, and the mountain bike trail off the Jasmine entrance threads through an immense old growth hardwood…
