I love the trail, but as an in-line rollerblader, it is VERY rough, uneven and dangerous at points. It definitely needs repaving ASAP!
Four of us started on the north side entering from route a1a and parking in the lot. The conditions were perfect. Road had been recently graded, and since it hadn’t rained in a while there were no puddles. I’ve been on this trail by car previously. It was so much more enjoyable by bike. A lot of the trail is in the shade. And then wam! The Indian River lagoon is right next to you. There’s a historic area closer to the south end where you can stop. Where there are new/clean restrooms and you can enjoy the views from a public dock on the river . I highly recommend. Happy trailing :)
Rode this trail by bike and by car. Overgrown with Mangoes and underbrush. Very boring cannot see a darn thing Rode up to Sebastian state park and going over bridge ( over the inlet) is unprotected and windy and dangerous park ranger Whois a local resident advised not go over bridge. She also only gave us a 30 minutes pass to ride thru the state park.
Cute little trail. Very smooth with many boardwalks. Perfect short ride after a day at Kennedy Space Center. Blessed with a red shoulder hawk!!!!
Has cute scenery! Lots of it is boardwalk, but smooth even as a boardwalk! As a distance skater, it was still easy and enjoyable. Averaged 9 mph on skates. Easy surface and saw a red shoulder hawk which is always a treat :)
Rode from the north end, parking at Pelican Island Nature Preserve. (Note that start point described by gps wasn’t available as there was just a locked gate.) There was hard rain two weeks ago, which might have caused or worsened the surface. Bumps, potholes and some ruts. Couldn’t just steer around many decayed of passing cars and pickups. Miserable for a bike ride.
We parked at Alvin Ward Park in Moore Haven. The trail is attached to the parking area. The park has a good parking lot with bathrooms and boat ramp. The trail is a nice flat asphalt on top of the dike. We saw a lot of wildlife on our ride including alligators, armadillos, quail, blue herons, 3 bobcats, seagulls, hawk, ducks and buzzards. We rode almost 12 miles to Clewiston Picnic Area at Herbert Hoover Dike and then turned around and return back to Moore Haven. The Clewiston picnic area has picnic tables along the water. I did not see any bathrooms December 2023
We rode this path from a beach park on south Hutchinson Island to downtown Vero Beach. It was a big ride for us 8 miles one way. Lunch and a drink made it worth the trip. It was mid July and a bit hot. A nice quiet afternoon. We will do it again in the Fall
The first time we rode the trail we started at Torrey Island campground & headed south for about 10 miles .. it is paved with several gates to go around. The second time we started at Canal Point & went north . The trail is gravel & some parts are very tough. I wouldn’t do it again . We went about 10 miles to Port Mayaca damn. The trail ended & we could see it on the other side of the damn but seemed the only way to get there was to go out onto the highway. We opted not to & turned back. The third time we started at the Port Mayaca trailhead & headed north for 13 miles . All paved & a very nice ride . There are no w port Mayac
We rode the Moore haven East section of the trail from Moore Haven to Clewiston on Sunday January 28, 2023. The 11.5 mile trail (23 mile round trip) is a smooth, very wide , paved trail which follows the top of the elevated dike and provides expansive views of the fields , canals and Lake. There are vehice gates at each end and two near the middle with pedestrian/ bike pass thrus to one side. We parked in a huge, paved parking lot at the Moore Haven damn, suitable for cars, trucks and RV's. What a great bike ride.
