​About the Trail🌲🗻
This 5.8 km out-and-back is a great urban walk along the city's inner harbor. The route passes marinas, parks, a beach with man-made tide pools, and ends in the downtown area. The path is paved with a yellow line down the middle — part of it is multi-use, and other sections are bike-free.

​Easy, scenic, and social — watch for the Swy-a-lana Lagoon, Rotary Centennial Garden, and Commercial Inlet along the way.

​AFTER THE WALK 🍺

​We're heading to Longwood Brew Pub & Restaurant to celebrate the end of summer together — great food, local beer, and good company.
