This 10-foot-wide sidewalk starts on the north at the Columbus Statue Park at Platt Street and ends at Gandy Boulevard. A three-mile on-road bike lane also exists along the north-bound lane of Bayshore Boulevard between Rome Avenue and Gandy Boulevard.
Trail amenities include benches, a water fountain, bicycle parking, a city marina, and fitness stations. Parking is available at Ballast Point Park and Fred Ball Park. Fifteen artistic cast bronze trail markers are embedded in the sidewalk, reflecting images borrowed from Tampa's natural environs, These markers denote each mile, half mile and kilometer southward along the trail. Designed by Michele Oka Doner in 1992, these pieces are entitled "Winged Figure: From the Firmament."
The trail is also accessible via a Coast Bike station located at Rome St. or the Pirate Water Taxi stop located at the Gasparilla Pirate ship dock near the Platt St. Bridge.
