Suncoast Trail reviews
7 Great cycling path and workout. There have been comments about the trail paralleling the freeway and lack of cover. All that would be addressed by looking at the map first.
We parked at Lutz lake and hit the beginning of the trail. We went 25 minutes before we had to stop and the only other intersection was a stop sign with no cars. We were able to get in a fast 35 mile ride. You could easily do 50+ miles and more including Starky park (surprisingly large and great paved paths) and Lutz Lake park. Fast, smooth and safe.
I said its a great cycling route, its not a great bicycling/running route. If you want 5-10 miles and food/store options this is not the route for you.
This trail is nice for bike riding because there are very few places where you have to stop. This trail connects to several other trails, and it goes for miles and miles. There is one water station at Lutz Lake Fern & Vetrans & another rest area at hwy 54. The trail is lined by trees, so there is some shade depending on what time of the day that you ride.
It's a place to ride your bike, water stations have been removed due to covid, very little shade, I rode it doing the C2C trail ride but wouldn't ride it again
This is the perfect biking trail. Almost no street crossings so you can get going fast and maintain your speed. The forests are beautiful and you will almost certainly see some wildlife. The only problem is there isn't water, other than some coolers at the trailhead.
Flat, straight, made for going far fast. That's good because there's not much to see riding along a toll road.
I normally park at the 54 and Veterans parking lot which is free; go north around 18-20 miles before heading back. Like somebody said - there are no water stops along the way. You better have your water bottle with you.
Although the trail is well paved, I did have to cross roads around 3 times; it’s not really scenic as expected; and it’s a lot noisy than expected due to the highway traffic.
It is still a good trail for some serious biking.
