There are a number of smaller community parks and recreation areas adjacent to the Pinellas Trail or close by.

Within Pinellas County, connecting trails lead to Honeymoon Island State Park, Caladesi Island State Park, and the Brooker Creek Preserve within Pinellas County.

Connecting trails lead to Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park in Pasco County to the north.

Connecting trails lead to Ben T. Davis Beach, Skyway Park and Cypress Point Park in Hillsborough County to the east.

Yes! These connecting trails include:

Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail: This trail runs about 10 miles across the Courtney Campbell Causeway (part of State Road 60) and connects Clearwater to Tampa. This trail is separated from the vehicle traffic and even has its own large bridge over Upper Tampa Bay. This trail is flat, except for one large bridge and one small bridge. The western end of the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail connects to the Pinellas Trail and Safety Harbor via the Bayshore Trail and the Ream-Wilson Trail in Clearwater. The eastern (Tampa) end of the trail connects to the Skyway Park Trail. A 0.7 mile leg of the Skyway Park Trail goes north, under the Causeway overpass, and ends at Skyway Park. A 1.4 mile section continues east then curves south and ends at Cypress Street, a block north of Cypress Point Park.

Coast-To-Coast Connector: This regional trail will eventually span approximately 270 miles and connect downtown St. Petersburg to Titusville on the East Coast of Florida. The C2C is approximately 80 percent complete in 2021. Much of the Pinellas Trail is part of the C2C. In the northeastern part of the Pinellas Trail loop, connect to the Tri-County Trail at the corner of Keystone Road and East Lake Road. Ride eastward (~ 3 miles) and northward (~ 2 miles) to the Pasco County line. This connects to the Pasco County Starkey Gap Trail (~ 2.4 miles) and Starkey Blvd Trail (~ 4.5 miles). Then ride through Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park (~ 7.5 miles) to the Suncoast Trail. The sections in Pinellas County and Pasco County are flat. If you ride the Tri-County Trail, it is worth the detour to take the access road into Brooker Creek Preserve. This is a flat loop about 2.4 miles to the parking area and back. There is usually so little traffic on the access road it feels like being on a bike trail. And the speed limit is slow, about 15 mph.

Druid Trail: This trail is a widened sidewalk and runs east/west, mostly along Druid Road in Clearwater. It connects the Duke Energy Trail (which is the east side of the Pinellas Trail loop) to the Pinellas Trail in downtown Clearwater (the west side of the Pinellas Trail loop). This is one of the best ways to ride east and west across the county, approximately in the middle of the county. About 4 miles long. It is mostly flat, but has some rolling hills on the western side.

Memorial Causeway Bike Trail: This trail runs along the Clearwater Memorial Causeway (State Road 60) between downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach. About 3.5 miles long with one big bridge to cross. The trail goes past the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where the "Dolphin Tale" films were set. Other than the bridge, this trail is flat.

Ream-Wilson Trail: Ream-Wilson Trail: This trail connects the Long Aquatic Center in Clearwater to downtown Safety Harbor. It passes right by the complex where the Philadelphia Phillies conduct spring training. About 4.5 miles long. This trail also connects to the Bayshore Trail, which can be taken south to the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail. This trail has both flat sections and sections with some short hills, and one overpass. A couple of the hills are very steep and approach a 10% grade.
Ream-Wilson Trail

Honeymoon Island State Park Trail: It begins at the southwest corner of the intersection at Alternate US 19 and Curlew Road. It starts as a widened sidewalk on the south side of the road that takes you out to the Dunedin Causeway. Then take the Dunedin Causeway Trail Spur over the Causeway drawbridge, along a beautiful stretch of beach with amenities including a small snack bar, kayak/canoe rental and restroom facilities, over a secondary "tidal" bridge and to the park entrance. The trail is about 2.5 miles long. An absolutely BEAUTIFUL ride! But be warned this trail is often crowded with pedestrians and bicycles. Best for a pleasure ride and not a serious exercise session. Other than the bridges, this trail is flat. Once inside Honeymoon Island State Park another trail continues into the park and follows the east side of the parking lots and ends at the very north end parking lot.

Skyway Trail: The north end of this trail connects to the Pinellas Trail in the southern part of the county, about Mile 3.7. The Skyway Trail runs south from the Pinellas Trail toward the approaches to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The trail ends at the north rest area on the Sunshine Skyway Causeway. You can ride out to the north fishing pier from the rest area. About 10 miles long. Study the map before you go as a few sections are confusing. Other than the bridges, this trail is flat.

The Skyway Trail does have one confusing discontinuous section. Riding south from the Pinellas Bayway, the trail loops to the left (east) and goes under I-275. The trail then seems to end at 58th Ave South with no further guidance.
It is necessary to turn right and go east on 58th Ave South for about 0.25 miles. Then turn right to go south on 31st Street South, either on the sidewalk or bike lane. In about 0.5 miles, turn right to go west on Pinellas Point Drive South.
In about 0.25 miles, turn left to go south on the service road (Sunshine Skyway Lane South) just before you get to the I-275 overpass. You will ride south on a wide sidewalk for about one third of a mile before the asphalt trail begins again. You will have to cross Sunshine Skyway Lane South to pick up the paved trail.

Suncoast Trail: The Suncoast Trail runs about 41 miles along the Suncoast Parkway. It connects to the Pinellas Trail via parts of the Coast-to-Coast Connector. This trail has very few cross streets and is great for long rides. Unfortunately, it is also adjacent to the Suncoast Parkway and suffers from road noise. The road noise is more severe in the southern half of the trail, which is relatively flat. The northern part of the trail is quieter, due to both better separation from the highway and less traffic on the highway. The northernmost 10 miles are very hilly, which is unusual for most of Florida. The southern sections are generally flat or rolling hills.
