Following the now-paved rail bed of the former Atlantic Coast Line, the Pinellas Trail roughly parallels Alternate US 19 from Largo north as it connects communities and green space throughout Florida’s most populous county.
This is an urban day use trail with no camping facilities along its length. It is the westernmost link in the developing Florida Coast to Coast Trail network.

As of January 2020, your list of trailheads is the most concise and accurate of any other information I can find online about the Pinellas Trail. We did a trip yesterday from Wall Springs Park. We went on the trail north to Tarpon Springs and then headed west from the downtown area to visit the sponge docks. Today we are going to start at Azalea Park in St. Pete.
It’s such an amazing ride for an urban bike path. Enjoy!
