Pinellas
Trail
The
Pinellas Trail is truly one of Florida’s premier urban
trails. Stretching from Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg,
the trail links some of Pinellas County’s most picturesque
parks, scenic coastal areas and residential neighborhoods.
As a testament to its popularity, an estimated 90,000 people
on average use the trail per month. The trail provides an
excellent alternative to the automobile – even for
the visitor – amidst Florida’s most densely populated
county. Eight overpasses, for example, allow trail-goers
to travel above traffic at several busy intersections. Whether
you plan a day trip or a several day visit with overnight
stays, there is plenty to do along the Pinellas trail. And
it is worth the effort to visit.

County has prepared an excellent Online
Guide to the Pinellas Trail. The guide provides detailed
segment-by-segment maps for the entire trail corridor, and
also provides information on bike shops, parks, restaurants,
and other facilities. Despite trail overpasses and other efforts
to provide as safe an experience as possible for users of
the trail, some locations still cross very busy intersections.
The guide points out these locations. Be sure to review it
and use extra caution in these areas.
