6 Incredible Biking Trails and Paths Near Jacksonville, FL

1.  Hanna Park

Hanna Park is ideal for mountain bikers because the trails are relatively hard. You will need a bike that has good tires to handle the trail that changes abruptly from dirt to sand and then mud. Be sure to watch for rocks and roots which are common on the entire trail. One advantage of this park is it is directional (all bikes are headed in one direction), so you can just focus on the trail ahead.

2.  Little Talbot Island State Park

The Little Talbot Island State Park has several trails that you can enjoy. You can choose to stick to the Park TImucan Trail section or you can venture into the maritime forest via the Dune Ridge Trail. If you are not feeling too adventurous, you can just ride along the beach, but be ready to cycle through the sand’s resistance. The park also has rental bikes and a pavilion that has free air in case you need to fill your tires.

3.  Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park

This park is perfect for those with a tight schedule not only because of its proximity to the central business district but also because of its short trails. You can ride in the morning or pass by later in the evening after leaving the office. The trails snake through wetlands and pines, thereby giving you a taste of old Florida.

4.  Jacksonville Baldwin Rail Trail

This is a linear park trail which means it is one straight line. The trail was made from a railroad corridor, and it goes for 15 miles through rows of oaks that cast their shade on the path. The path is paved and that makes it an easy path to ride. If you are looking for a great spot to go biking with kids, Jacksonville Baldwin Rail Trail would be perfect.

5.  Beach and Peach Urban Park

This trail is for the more experienced mountain bikers. The elaborate BMX trails here are popular with mountain bikers from within and out of state and national events are even hosted here. The trail has some exhilarating dirt jumps at all skill levels. Interestingly, all the trails at the park are created by hand (using shovels) in a bid to involve the community and also to make the trails unique and authentic.

6.  Guana State Park

This park is a popular hiking and biking destination. The nature trails span 10 miles and weave around different attractions. You can combine your love for birds with biking by watching the different species that make this park home as you ride.
