Confirmed from Pinellas Bike 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.
Paved, scenic bike and pedestrian trail built on an old railway bed.
What runners say about Pinellas Bike Trail
“Very neat and well maintained bike/walking trail that runs through the center of Dunedin.”
“Beautiful clean and smooth trail with nice scenery!”
This trail goes from Tarpon Springs to St.Pete with so many neat areas along the way. Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Crystal Beach, Wall Springs Park, just to name a few. There are plenty of places to stop along the way for breaks, something to eat or drink, or to see the monkeys or take a detour to Clearwater beach.
Most of this trail appears to be retired railroad right of way. road crossings are guarded, or elevated bridges keeping bikes safe from heavy traffic. Well worth a trip. I spent 5 days riding 145 miles on these trails last week.
If you're in Pinellas county and you own a bike or if you can get your hands on a bike while visiting this area this is one of the nicer bike trails in Florida. It is car free and shaded in many places throughout the trail.
Biked from Weaver Park to sunset point and back. Great day trip! Many places beside the trail to eat or shop and people on the trail all day. A busy section with many car crossings, goes slow, enjoy the scenery.
Trail conditions & character
“Flat, with paved trail, some parts are wide enough to ride side by side.”
