Description: About 10 miles of mostly beginner and some intermediate scenic trail. Completely flat. Beginners will be right at home on these trails. Intermediates will find trails to be easy, fun to ride in large groups, and good for introducing beginners. Experts: You're going to the beach anyway so you might as well get a short ride in! Not challenging at all.

Rode here a few years ago while down in Jacksonville visiting my sister. Definately mostly flat doubletrack with some deep sandy areas. When I was there the park had recently done a prescribed burn. It was still burning while I was riding there.

Ok, i havent been there in over a year so i dont know what its like now, but when i went, it was dreadful. The trails were unkept, so sandy, that my little brother and my mom, had to walk. My dad and i had a hard time but managed. There was a multipurpose trail, so there were bikers, hikers, and horses who were all destroying the trails. Then they had a controlled burn the day before, so we had to deal with smoke, debris, burning embers(which one guy had to walk his bike out because the tire popped from the ember) and ashes all dusted up in the air. Not for beginners.

Trail was good not great., Nothing technical at all. Scenery was nice but those darn Florida sand pits get me every time. There were a few cool twity trails but it mostly felt like a family fun ride but totally worth checking out, if your in St. Augustine. Guana River State Park is Beautiful.

Rode today with my wife. Got some sandy spots but just makes for a good workout. We rode 10 miles. Not much challenge, but can get a fast pace ride in, and nice area.

First time at this trail. Trails are wide with plenty of room. Had rained the night before so not too sandy, but can see where it could get loose.

Very easy but also nice place to ride. There is alot to look at and loads of wildlife. The trails are well marked and very fast. The orange loop is still the most fun and only single track. Watch out for hikers!

Went today with my Wife and we loved it the Orange trail is the best. It is real singletrackish. We saw 6 Baby Boars and 2 White Tail Deer running down the trail it was great. The breeze coming off the water made it awsome as well

Pretty good for what it is. Easy trails for a speed workout and yes, there was quite a bit of shade. Very scenic near the marsh and on the wooden bridges. $3/car to drive into the park- closes at sunset. There were a couple of sandy spots but w/ the rain yesterday they were barely noticeable* Review edited 12/27/2009

Similar Trail: the easier trails at Hanna park

Pick up a trail map if available, but it is not needed because intersections and paths are well marked. All trails are easy, but just because they're all easy doesn't mean it is not fun to come here. The orange loop is the only singletrack and it is the most fun. You can go really fast on the wider paths. Banana spiders like to hang out in the paths during the warmer weather, especially when the trails are fresh in the early morning! So keep an eye out. The mosquitoes are only a problem if you stop, but not if you're near the water and there's a breeze.

Parked at South Entrance - some of the area was part of a "prescribed burn," so the ground was all turned up and I had to walk my bike through it. Otherwise, though, the trail was good! Saw turtles, wild turkey, raccoons... Be sure to pick up a map at the entrance b/c all trailways aren't marked clearly! The main road of trail is well marked, wide and easy to ride. North Entrance - more people, awesome trails for beginners/intermediate. Pretty flat, but some nice twists and turns here and there!

Coastal trial ideal for beginners. Around five miles of jeep roads in this State Seashore. Contact: a.lmilton@worldnet.att.net
