In 1990, the first five-mile section of the Pinellas Trail opened.  Since then, the trail has been extended  to 34 miles and has about 90,000 visitors each month. The Trail is 15 feet wide, and has a smooth asphalt surface. The Pinellas Trail is a corridor linking some of Pinellas County’s most scenic parks, coastal areas, and neighborhoods. Along some parts of the trail, visitors may think they’re miles from civilization. Sheltered benches, water fountains, bicycle racks, sheltered tables, litter baskets, mileage markers, and trail maps are located along the trail. The Pinellas Trail is featured as the downtown anchor in Dunedin, where there are many quaint shops and restaurants.

Future improvements to the trail include additional overpasses and a 20.6 mile extension on a utility corridor.
