Suncoast Trail

The Suncoast Trail parallels the Suncoast Parkway for 54.1 miles between northern Hillsborough County and through both Pasco and Hernando counties.

About the Route

For its entire route, the Suncoast Trail follows its namesake Suncoast Parkway, a toll-road highway that stretches between FL-44 in Lecanto and W Lutz Lake Fern Rd. in Upper Tampa Bay.

The trail passes through a mix of suburban, agricultural and natural areas, along which trail users will find rest areas and interpretive signs that illuminate the trail's historical significance and identify the local ecology.

One of the most impressive features along the route is the nearby Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Preserve, with beautiful waterways and scenic views of natural areas.

Connections

About 45 miles from the trail's northern endpoint, the Suncoast Trail meets the Starkey Wilderness Park Paved Trail.
