This trail is located in the northwestern portion of Sarasota County and extends from the Sarasota/ Manatee County line to downtown Sarasota
A majority of the Sarasota Bay Trail is
on open water. The technical difficulty
of the Sarasota Bay Trail varies
depending on the weather, particularly
on the open bay. If paddling on the
bay, a slight breeze (even 2-3 mph)
can make paddling very difficult. This
portion of the trail should be avoided
by first-time paddlers and those with little experience with waves.
