Great Trail, it was nicely shaded and enjoyed the scenery and the crossovers with the signals. Rode from McIntosh parking area all the way down to the Venice Waterway Park. I didn't realize the trail went North of the McIntosh parking area until I was leaving, needs better signs showing where the trail pics up.

A well-maintained trail that runs behind homes and crosses through main roads. Wide road good for large groups, dog walkers, etc. I didn’t see any doggy bags for those who forget or trash cans. I went early on an overcast morning and definitely should’ve waited for the blazing sun. The little black bugs were bugginggggg us. Beautiful maintained trail. If you’re in the mood for privacy or to view nature elements i would skip this one.

My dog and I loved this natural Florida trail. He smelled and peed while I looked for unusual plants and wildlife. I am 74 and more careful about footing, so I appreciate the paving. A local gem.

Love this Trail for cycling!! You can head north to Webber st or South to Venice Train Station. There's plenty of parking. There's facilities, picnic tables, benches throughout the trail. All crossing intersections have the button to change traffic lights and are reasonably quick. There's parking at Bay St. Asthon Rd has a nice facility and park under construction. Laurel Rd has a nice bridge to go over and Shakett Creek is a beautiful bridge to stop along your travel. 🤘🐬🐊
