The Legacy Trail was constructed following the old Seaboard Airline Railroad, which eventually was purchased by Sarasota and the Public Land Trust to be developed into the ultimate trail.

The trail remains predominantly flat, so don’t worry about having to hike up and inclines or descend into canyons.
