Description

This biking trail follows the Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway. This road is a unique driving experience offering panoramic views of Escambia Bay from giant bluffs that are the highest points along Florida’s entire coastline. It travels from the Bayou Texar Bridge to the north end of the U.S. 90 Bridge across the Escambia River.

As you explore this scenic bike trail, stop at the 32-acre Bay Bluffs Park, near the I-10 overpass. This unique, enchanting park offers numerous wooden boardwalks leading visitors through dense forest, under beautiful canopies of oaks and pines, to the warm waters of Escambia Bay. Large bluffs of red clay line the beaches, which offer a beautiful view to watch the sun set over the bay.

The trail and park have sustained hurricane damage during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Please call the Visitor Center for updates: 800- 874-1234
