Pinellas Trail

A paved ribbon stretching the length of Pinellas County from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail provides nearly 38 miles of low-stress cruising.

Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg (27.908262, -82.800091)   37.6 miles  

Following the former Atlantic Coast Line rail bed, the Pinellas Trail roughly parallels Alternate US 19.

It connects downtown St. Petersburg with the communities of Seminole, Largo, Bellair, Clearwater, Dunedin, Ozona, Palm Harbor, and Tarpon Springs along its route.

Ride Details

This is a day use trail through Florida’s most populous county, used by residents for exercise and commuting.

From St. Petersburg north to Largo, the surroundings are very urban. It’s not until you’re north of Clearwater that the corridor has a visual buffer of green space around it.

Hotels are within a mile or two at several points where the trail crosses major highways, and a few adjoin the trail in Dunedin.

There are numerous parks that serve as trailheads with water and restrooms. Camping, however, is not permitted. One commercial campground is trailside in Ozona.

The Pinellas Trail also serves as the westernmost segment of the Florida Coast to Coast Trail, a state-spanning route more than 200 miles to Titusville on the Atlantic Coast.
