Summer Rest Trail

"How can a paved bike trail through coastal woods and along the ICW be anything but 5 stars? Quiet neighborhoods and summer shade makes for a wonderful hike or bike ride. No parking so you'll have to bike or park elsewhere and hoof it. Part of my go to bike rides, love it."

"This trail isn't as nice as it used to be. There has been some construction along the way with some shade removed and a tall fence built. It's still a nice walk that pops you out at the intracoastal waterway. That's always a beautiful view."

"Our short term rental was great! The view was wonderful with the exception of the huge amount of people that invade Summer Rest Trail from "Landfall" They all seem to travel through a secret gate to access Sumer Rest Trail. Why can't we travel through the secret gate to access Landfall?"

"The entire trail is quiet and shaded. The trail head can be found at the end of Summer Resting right off the Intracoastal Waterway. It's a great trail for a quick walk, but just very short."

"0.7 mile multi-purpose trail which runs between Port City Chop House and Summer Rest Road. Spectacular views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Open 8am to sunset. If you are coming by car you can park at the Port City Chop House, on right as you drive into their parking lot, which is where the trail begins. At the end of trail you will travel down Summer Rest Road (the most beautiful road in Wilmington) and then if you go right you're on the Cross City trail, which will go back to the Chop House where you started."
