About the Pinellas Trail
Most Pinellas County residents have bicycled, walked, jogged or in-line skated on it. It may be part of a daily exercise routine. It may be the avenue by which one enters Pinellas County's beautiful parks. Perhaps citizens have avoided rush hour by utilizing the trails for their commute.

This is the Pinellas Trail, a community project we can all point to with pride, a multi-use trail everyone can enjoy.

From its first five-mile section, the trail has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, the Trail connects communities from Tarpon Springs to South St. Petersburg along a 34-mile stretch, quite a transformation from an abandoned railroad right-of-way!

An average of 90,000 people use the Trail each month. This greenway corridor links some of Pinellas County's most picturesque parks, scenic coastal areas and residential neighborhoods. While traveling along the Trail, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy deep glades of ancient live oaks trailing Spanish moss, quiet waterways and tidal streams with all varieties of land and water birds. The Trail is a priceless haven in a busy, highly urbanized environment, where Trail goers safely breeze along. The construction of eight overpasses allows user to travel above traffic at busy intersections.

In addition to recreational uses the Trail is a safe and convenient route to commute to work. Those who use the trail instead of their cars reduce the environmental impact of rush hour, as well as reducing stress and other health improvements.

It is expected that the number of trail users will continue to increase as it is expanded to meet the recreational needs of the citizens of Pinellas County.

Kudos for our Volunteers: "Many thanks to Bob Y, Ben B, and Rich L, Pinellas Trail Ranger Volunteers, who on Saturday, April 10 aided me with not only a spare bicycle tube but also insisted on doing all the work!  Without their aid, assistance and generosity I would have had a very long 12+ mile walk home! Again many thanks. -- Steve Railey"
