"Beautiful trail. Fun to ride bikes on. Hidden gem!"
"Great trail to walk or ride your bike . Part of the upper Tampa Bay trail with lots of shade ."
"Like the trail, bridge was underwhelming considering it hasn't rained for awhile. Lots of shade and couple places to stop and relax. Pavement is well kept for running or biking. Waiting for the expansion which will connect up with other trails. They charge for parking which upset me because it's already supported by my taxes."
"Peaceful and beautiful nature great for photography especially if you look to the ground for small creatures and flowers. Birds of all sorts abound in and around Rocky Creek as well as turtles. Keep an eye out for bicyclists as the Upper Tampa Bay Trail is popular among local and visiting cyclists. Public bathrooms are available at the Wilsky Trailhead parking area. Bring something to drink if sunny water is provided near restrooms but out on the trail it is sunny and you will get thirsty. There are some picknick tables in some mostly shady areas to have a rest or snack. Tread lightly in our natural parks pay the parking fee, take out whatever you bring in and nothing more. Except maybe photos and memories."
"Bridge originally carried trans on the railroad which ran from Linebaugh Ave. to Tarpon Springs, Wife can remember last train sightings in the seventies. The UTBT trail uses a portion of the original railroad right of way. Bridge rebuilt so much, original no longer visible."
