On schedule for late July, The Legacy Trail’s Dona Bay Trestle will provide a continuous non motorized trail of 10.6 miles from north of Palmer Ranch Parkway to the Venice Train Depot. At the Train Depot The Legacy connects to the Venetian Waterway Park Trail adding another 10 miles of non-motorized trail (5 miles on the east and west side of the Intracoastal Waterway).

The railing and other features are yet to be added to the Dona Bay Trestle. The beautiful trestle will complete the over water portion of The Legacy. With parking at the Laurel Community Center and Park and Nokomis Community Center and Park, a walk, run or short bicycle ride will provide travel over and access to the vistas from the Dona Bay and Roberts Bay Trestles. The Trestles also have bump-outs to provide recreational opportunities for fisherpersons and wildlife viewers.

There will be a ribbon-cutting for the completion of the Trestles in September. More information regarding the ribbon-cutting will be sent out as we receive it. This June 13th photo is courtesy of a boating FLT member. The view is looking east.
