Amelia Island Trail

The Amelia Island Trail is a planned bikeway that will link 20 existing parks and beach access points on Amelia Island. It will run from the Grady Bridge on A1A on the Nassau Sound northward to the Marina at the foot of Centre Street in Downtown Fernandina. It wil also become a link to the larger East Coast Greenway network of trails that runs from the Northeast US to South Florida.

Eagan's Creek Greenway in Fernandina Beach

I went to the Eagan's Creek Greenway on Amelia Island today. It is a 300 acre nature preserve managed by the City of Fernandina Beach that follows Eagan's Creek. The prinstine waterway starts on the west side of the dune line and runs northwards past the lighthouse and turns westward south of Old Town. It is a great trail if you want to take a slow paced trop through nature. Looks like they are having a bird watching gathering there on Saturday, September 12th, at 8:00 AM. The entrance to the Greenway is beside the Atlantic Avenue Community Center at 2500 Atlantic Avenue in Fernandina Beach. Here is a link to their site: http://ourgreenway.org/default.aspx
