It is an awesome experience. Most definitely could use a couple more testing areas as well as TRASH CANS (it’s 2020 yo! See if y’all can carry a small supermarket bag and put your garbage in it then dispose of it correctly )Definitely can not wait for the connector to the Van Dyke & 582 section of it which still hasn’t happened.

Calm place to go walking/biking or even walk your dogs. I dont give it a 5 star because there is a part of the trail that is not very good looking but overall a nice place.

I am so glad for ranger Mike and Ranger B, Today July 28 at 4 PM in the afternoon they went out of the way to bring my son and my grandkids back after my son raft scraped an oyster Bay and deflated the raft. Ranger Mike and young ranger B Rescue them And brought them back to Shore safely. So grateful for our law enforcement and first responders thank God for all of them. Once again thank you ranger Mike!

This is a pretty neat Trail especially for a recumbent as it has a lot of winding pathways. There are some good Shady spots and some full sun spots. I didnt see any Wildlife but theres quite a few people on the trail. There are several locations to start your adventure. Most of the parking cost $2 flat. If you start off of Hillsborough and go north when you hit Ehrlich itll be a little weird because you cant figure out that right at book Ballyhoo you have to cross the road to continue the trail but it doesnt go much further as its not complete yet

Love it. The staff were outstanding and were very interested that we were ok.

I love this trail!! You can always see tons of wildlife and the trail staff does a great job keeping the water cooler full and the restrooms clean.

Great place to ride a bike away from traffic. Take in nature.

I love this place! Unfortunately developers are altering the course to build homes and take away its serenity. If you want to run or walk some distance, this is the place. You can do 14 miles starting at Ballyhoos.

I enjoyed walking along the paths. It was clean, quiet and peaceful!

Nice trail, a few trailheads to walk it. The part we did was fully paved. Great for walking or biking.

Nice trail, I only come here during the week to avoid crowds

Just love this ride so much to see really nice

Great, safe, well maintained and everything you would expect in the Citrus Park area. Best time to ride is very early or after 11 on the weekends due to families and wandering, small children.

Very nice place to skate. Loved it

Great biking trail.

Geat place to ride your bike

Very nice trail to take your family to!

Good workout and beautiful scenery!

Great trail for walking and making exercises

Great place for a walk.

Great outdoor jogging place.

Great trail for a bike ride!

Nice trailhead as a starting point for cycling, running, or walking. Trail goes along bypass canal, offering many opportunities for spotting wildlife. A waterstation is available, and about 15 parking places. The trail and trailhead is open from dusk to dawn.

Nice place to walk, bike, or jog along.

The workers on that trail are some of the nicest and most respectful Ive ever met.

Nice long quiet trail. can ride run or walk. good parking

Great trail! long enough for a good round trip bike ride with relaxing nature ambiance to get away from it all.

Its clean and neat. Parking is shaded. They are naps helping fund facilities located throughout the trail. You can walk, run, bike, skate, crawl.

Great place to walk or ride bikes.

Great open trail. Wide path.

Great trail and safe to ride.

Excellent trail for just about most outdoor activity. Nice 5 mile stretch with only one small road crossing. Plenty of water and some well shaded stretches too.

Nice shaded parking with a handicap space. No facilities. Small but not busy weekdays. Trail runs north alongside an unfinished drainage channel, trail becomes scenic as you go north.

I enjoy going up and down the trail on my mobility scooter. There are many bikers, walkers, runners etc that use the trail daily. The trail part that I use goes from Old Memorial and Montague all the way to Gunn Hwy close to Citrus Park Mall. It is beautiful, very hot in the summer but really enjoyable in the fall. Ive seen turtles, snakes, rabbits, cardinals, blue jays and even a big alligator across the embankment on different outings. It makes my ride a little more interesting .

Beautiful little pond but not much scenery more of a bike trail I was looking for more of a woody trail.

Beautiful Trail for Biking, Walking, Running...

Close to home, easy access,varying landscape. Definately a MULTI-USE trail. I have walked all of it, from Lutz-Lake Fern to Memorial Trailhead. Plenty of stops for water and tables if you bring a lunch. There is a missing portion between Van Dyke and Copeland but still...

The construction of the water recycling project south of Sheldon looks like it is finished. Now all we need is some rain to cool things off. Lots of people out today.

Great trail for bike riding with plenty of natural sight seeing opportunities

My happy place!

Im always on this trail its one of the best

Nice track for hiking and cycling

Trail good. Great shade amd nice elevation changes.

Its great if you wanna ride your bike or go for a run, great scenery, and they got water stations every few miles or so.

Really nice trail, plenty of shade along the way, especially toward the northern half. Fresh cold water provided at points along the trail. Very smooth asphalt. Very enjoyable bike ride. Only two negatives:1. Although there are maps posted at points along the trail, there are many places where a side trail diverges from the main trail, usually to connect to a trailhead where people can park and access the trail. However, there was often no way to know which was the main trail and which was the divergent trail, so this being our first time on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, we ended up following several wrong trails. It would be helpful to have signs where the trail splits so that you dont end up having to do a lot of back tracking, as we did. You shouldnt have to keep checking your phone on a bike trail to keep you on the right track.2. MANY of the 911 station designators (numbers painted on the ground that you can give to the 911 dispatcher so they know your exact location in an emergency) are faded to the point of being illegible or are entirely rubbed off. They really need to be redone, it could make the difference between someone living or dying out there.All in all, this lovely, well-maintained trail is a great asset to Tampa Bay and we will definitely be using it again!

Great trails very well maintained you wouldnt think you are in florida

Absolutely beautiful and very clean.

Great place for a hike. Its very clean and lots of green space.

It was ok. I was hoping for a more shaded trail.

Our favorite trail in the entire area. Good tree coverage when its hot. Multiple entrances to get on, pending where you want to park.

Excellent paved trail for biking, hiking or jogging. Well maintained. Water stations at either end and various scenic rest areas along the trail. Feel blessed to be able to enjoy it often.

Wonderful place to get a good cardio!

Perfect for biking or jogging. Trail us asphalt and plenty wide.

Excellent trail for biking and running. The trail go from here all the way to Bears Ave past citrus park mall.

A great riding trail

Ive biked this trail several times and recently walked the entire trail. Around 12 miles round trip. Goes right by the dump at one section and pray that you are not down wind from it! Other than that, its one of Tampas hidden gems.

Very great bike path, but they need better signage. Will go back now that we know our way around.

Very nice trail for rollerblading, biking, walking, or running. Goes quite a distance, with a water stop and restroom. Parking was $2. I didn’t pay because they were out of the green envelopes. Ranger Nick left a nice note that looked like a ticket, but was only a reminder to pay. Very nice. Pleasant views along the canal, with some shade. Nice in the winter, I imagine very hot in the summer. Highly recommend.

Quite, nice view, fresh air!

Great trail,love the water stations! I remember when they started the fee during the great recession when tax revenues plummeted . now that the county is flush can we cut that out?

Great place to longboard or bike through. Very long trail with a proportionate amount of sunlight and shade. Could use a couple more water fountains. I believe Ive only seen one and Ive gone several miles in one direction. If we pay for parking its only fair to get water lol. Parkings only 2 dollars as well and its all day. No complaints there. Great place for a date. Or just running with a work-out buddy. Very clean and well-maintained.

The pay to park station was malfunctioning and did not take cash and I didnt feel comfortable using my card. Plus the area is not very well kept even though people are paying to use it.

Nice trail. Well kept up. The only drawback that I can see is you have to pay for parking. The website should let people know this.

By far my favorite trail. Ever.

Beautiful bike trail

Beautiful and peaceful place to have any type of activity

By far my favorite quick bike ride in Pinellas. The winding path rambles through fields and shady trees, over old railroads and under bridges. It’s quiet and charming, well kept and scenic. 12 miles round trip. Ish. Love it. Ride it. Share it.

Well maintained trail stocked with water. Clean restrooms at reasonable intervals along trail. Pretty views of a canal. Lots of birds, turtles, fish and other wildlife. Trail great for rollerblading, it is very wide.

Beautiful, well-maintained, paved trail and some sections are very shaded (greatly appreciated during mid-day walks). The other afternoon, I parked at Channel Park Pavillion and was lucky enough to see three manatees relaxing in the channel. It was an unexpected and magical experience because I have only seen manatees at ZooTampa and the TECO plant in Apollo Beach. I had no ideas that manatees could be right there in the channel beside Waters Ave in an urban setting. Hopefully I will get to see them again! This location has nice parking, restrooms, water, benches, and shade. Very nice.

Rode from bottom to finished part about 6 or so miles. It will be great when the whole trail is done.

Easy ride bike trail. Lots of shade and well maintained.

Great trail!

Seemed like a nice trail, very little shade though.

Nice but short bike trail....would be terrific if they would just finish the Peterson Park to Van Dyke section.

Very nice trail mix of shaded area hills an straight for bikes.

Nice area; bring bug spray if you come after dark; the flies bite and are horrendous!

Great bike ride today

I love biking this trail. Very scenic for this part of Florida and a lot of the trail is fairly shaded. There are water jugs along the trail to rehydrate. Overall great job by Hillsborough county. We need more bike paths like this in Pinellas and Hillsborough.

Excellent trail with plenty of water stations. Not very shady in most parts so be prepared with sun protection. They will start chatging a parking fee of $2 at all lots for trailheads starting December 1st, 2017. Bring cash for parking. Solid and uninterrupted trail good for biking, jogging, or walking.

Great place to go kayaking from

I love it, Very peaceful to ride your bike.

Beautiful weather for this

Really like hiking or biking this trail. Trailhead is a nice shady spot and always has fresh ice water available.
