What a find
Once a part of the CSX railway line, the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail will be a thoroughfare for hikers, bikers, and equestrians when complete. This unique park provides a 14.5-mile greenway between Imeson Road and County Road 121, just past the town of Baldwin.

A hidden gem in Jacksonville
The full distance on this bike trail is 14.5 miles, from the Imeson Rd trail head to the Baldwin trail head. But you can go to the Halsema Road trailhead and pedal 6 miles to Baldwin. At the end is a very pleasant visitor center with picnic tables. The 6 mile trip took a little over an hour and there are benches where you can rest. It is a 5 minute ride to the Everyone's Restaurant, a great place to eat--sandwiches, salads and soup. Service and food are excellent. An old Florida diner popular with locals. This section of the trail is almost always shaded and good for summer cycling.

Great Little Trail
It's a lovely trail. It's a straight trail that stretches on for a few miles, making it great for jogging or biking (in fact, bikers love it). I like coming here to walk. There are a lot of lush trees and plant life, and there is a good amount of shade but it is paved, so it might not be an overabundance of natural sites here. Still, it's a great place.
