Trail goers may think they're miles from civilization along some parts of the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, located in Pinellas County Florida. Travel through deep glades of live oaks, trailing Spanish moss, tidal streams teeming with wildlife. The Trail also leads to a number of County, City and State parks along its route. Currently the trail is 47 miles in length. Trail Guide
