Davis Island Trail

I’ve been running on the trail for two years! What I love about the trail is it close to work. I can leave my job and run the trail all the way to the Davis Island Yacht Club and back and get 6 miles done. The route is quite scenic. You run along the water and see the houses on Davis Island, airplanes landing and taking off at Peter O’Knight Airport, rowers and sailboats on Hillsborough Bay, people playing and relaxing in Seaplane Basin and dogs in Davis Island Dog Beach. The run is relaxing and easy on the knees and hips since you are running on asphalt and not concrete. Great run after work.

Nice trail that runs along the water and near the airport on Davis Island. There are multiple parking areas, grassy areas to play with pets or picnic, shaded benches and picnic tables, and even a working water fountain if you need to refill. There are a few tight turns and road crossings so be mindful of vehicles and other trail users. If you keep going on the road past the airport there’s a dog beach and a people beach as well as the Davis Island Yacht Club.
Davis Islands is becoming one of my favorite places to bike, it’s just a little tricky to go back and forth from Bayshore if you’re not comfortable riding on the road (being on the road is fine… it’s the sidewalk connections that are awkward).
