The "Urban Trail" through Palatka is getting close to being finished. The construction manager for the project told us a week ago that the work on the trail over the bridge in Palatka would be done in 2 weeks. I think he was being a bit ambitious on the time frame. But they are making some really good progress for sure. I'm guessing it will be done sometime in May 2013.. Someday this trail will link up with the Palatka Lake Butler trail & the trail that follows 207 from St. Augustine near I-95. But for now the separated MUP over the bridge in Palatka will be awesome. It will be nice to get from one side of the river to the other without having to bike over all of the accumulated debris that collects on the top of the bridge.

They are working on the next section of the Palatka Lake Butler trail right now. Supposed to be finished sometime this summer. It is about a 4.5 mile section starting east of Holloway Road. When finished the total paved section in this area (there is a paved section on the north end in Lake Butler) will be about 19 miles. That is not including 6 miles of paved trail that leads up to Gold Head State Park north of Keystone.
