Bike trails
The Venetian Waterway Park Trail follows along both sides of the Intracoastal Waterway, from the ocean north and somewhat east, past the Venice Airport to north of Venice Avenue. It is flat and often windy, passing through a mix of urban corridor and open green space. Colorful murals, covered rest and picnic areas and interpretive signs dot the way. You will also find playgrounds, fitness stops and parks.
At the northern end of the trail, you can link directly with the Legacy Trail and continue toward Sarasota.

The Legacy Trail is a former rail line, turned into a paved recreation trail that runs for 10.8 miles from the Venice Train Depot near downtown Venice, north to Culverhouse Nature Park, which is 8 miles south of Sarasota. It’s a popular bicycle trail, used extensively by joggers and pedestrians as well. There is a mix of terrain and beauty on this trail. There are shaded, foliated sections, some pastureland, streams and rivers, and some more populated sections near busy roads. The trail is easy to follow and well signed, with mile markers along the way.
