I rode this trail today and had a good time......The loop is really short so I rode the loop about 5 times......the only headache was the stinging sweat bee's......I didn't have any bug repellent with me....other than that it was a fun trail.......did I mention the 2 small black snakes???? I was a pedaling in high gear I tell ya!!!

Similar Trail: For this area of Florida.....spend about an hour drive north on I-95 to New Smyrna and ride the Spruce Creek Preserve Trail.....great workout!

This trail probably was not bad before they cut fire breaks through the trail system. Stay on the red unless you love freshly plowed sugar sand or are on a three wheeler. Some fun roots and a few extras.

Similar Trail: Tsali, Bull Mtn, Santos,

All the downed trees have been removed and the trails are cleared of obstacles caused by our tropicals storms this year. Their is a few low lying trees that you will have to duck under so you do not get cloths lined, but it is looking great out their once more even though the trails are still a little tight. Great workout by far!

The Malabar Scrub MTB trails are the same as the Turkey Creek Sanctuary MTB Trails, they are just only separated by Briar Creek Blvd.. The Turkey Creek section is called the "Ho Chi Minh" trail and exits out on Briar Creek Blvd.. To continue the network of MTB trails, you must cross over to the east side of Briar Creek Blvd. as duly noted in the trail photo's I have added/provided. Trail pictures will come soon.

Similar Trail: Too many to post, but Alafia & Santos are the bomb! The South Shore "Fruit Trail" in Palm Bay is a really nice MTB trail. Check it out!

The trails by the fire department on Malabar road will not get you to the turkey creek trails without first riding thru the Malabar Sanctuary and then finding the back entrance to the Turkey Creek Trails. This is a different biking area. The Turkey Creek Trails are just east of Troutman on Port Malabar Road after you cross a bridge heading east on the south side of the road.

Turkey Creek trails are OPEN, but it is not the Pedestrian trails over by the Library. You can get to them from Malabar road also, where the park next to the Malabar Fire Dept. near US1 (East Malabar Road). Can be technical at times with lots of roots, bridges, and a few ups and downs, but nothing spectacular as ups and downs. The Hochi Min trail is the best, which runs along Turkey Creek for a short bit. This trail can be accessed from Port Malabar Road (just 100 feet southeast of the bridge that crosses over Turkey Creek on Port Malabar Road), and also from the trails leading from the Malabar Shrub at the Malabar Fire Dept.. As very well known with Florida, it does have it sugar sand also.

Similar Trail: Alafia, Morris Bridge, Carter Trail, Santos, etc.

The trails are not at Turkey Creek Sanctuary, that is where you can park. That trail is for hikers, nature lovers, and tourist. You need to ride east along Port Malabar Rd. until you reach a very small bridge crossing Turkey Creek, approx. 1 mile from the Sanctuary. One of the trail heads start immediately to the right after crossing the small bridge. This is the "Hochi Min" trail. Lots of roots, some ups and downs, some sugar sand, man made climbs (log piles), but all in all not a bad place to ride. Their are many more trails on the Malabar Rd. entrance, which is on the east side of the "Hochi Min". A good workout, but the trails could use a little more TLC! Sheen guards are recommended! Ride hard & let the good times roll, "Team Mongoose"

Visited the Turkey Creek Sanctuary today, parked by Palm Bay Library as suggested. Map shows zero bike trails, staff says "Bikes are not allowed," and a sign says $50 fine, city violation. As I walked the trail and snapped some pics, about 40 school kids mauled past. Zero tire tracks, lots of people tracks. Is there another way in or a seperate area?
