Confirmed from TECO AUBURNDALE 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“We saw a gorgeous sunset while on this trail, many bunnys, and turtles.”

Nice shaded ( most areas) paved road. Love the half mile and mile markers. Lots of turtles, some snakes,and gators ( in the creeks). Careful in the small wooded trail, you'll get eaten by horse flies.

★★★★★ — Lisette , Oct 2020

We went down this awesome trail almost everyday while at a nearby RV resort, Camp Margarittaville. It was a great bike trail that was also a short cut to stores we went to. We saw a gorgeous sunset while on this trail, many bunnys, and turtles. Lots of wildlife and fresh air. This is a beautiful trail to walk or bike.

★★★★★ — Ashley , Apr 2022

Very relaxing n away from traffic but watch out for bunnies. Their all over from time to time. Oh yeah. Watch for baby birds fallen out of their nests. Dogs may go after them. Help keep wildlife safe. We need more trails like this all over. Great idea!! Happy trails 👍👍✌️🖖

★★★★★ — Robert , Mar 2020

Great trail! It is paved and great for walking, running, roller-blading and biking. The northern terminus is at the beginning of the 30 mile Van Fleet trial, if you choose to go further.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
