Sarasota Bay, FL

Sarasota Bay Trail

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.
