The trail is ever-popular amongst bikers, hikers, and those who can pop in right from their own backyards.

The Legacy Trail was constructed following the old Seaboard Airline Railroad, which eventually was purchased by Sarasota and the Public Land Trust to be developed into the ultimate trail.

The trail remains predominantly flat, so don’t worry about having to hike up and inclines or descend into canyons.

The beauty and scenery from this unique trail is about as delightful as it comes.

Especially when you cross each of the many bridges lining the trail!

The Roberts Bay Bridge is a fan favorite for many…

…but also the bridges that go right over the water, talk about enticing views.

Or the beautiful pedestrian overpass bridge built in 2011, that allows for views from up above stretching over Florida.

No matter which bridge you have to cross on your journey, or all of them for that matter, you’ll find beauty at every turn along The Legacy Trail.
