Florida, Tampa Bay Area, Pinellas County, St. Pete/Clearwater/Palm Harbor-- Hiking the Pinellas Trail?

I'm looking for people who have done this without driving from section to section... walking the entire trail over the span of a week or so.

My family & I were thinking of a little "stay-cation" hiking trip. We live near the St. Pete end of the trail & were thinking it might be cool to backpack the entire trail from Tarpon Springs. Only planning on walking 5-6 miles per day, maybe stopping at some parks & museums along the way

We would stop of course in the evening for lodgings... we'd actually rather just pop a pup tent & rough it, inner-city camping lol, but there are only a couple of places we can do that (Sherwood Forest in Palm Harbor & KOA in Bay Pines, plus we have a friend that lives in Gulfport & we can probably pop a tent in their fenced-in yard if we wanted for a night.

Can't find anywhere to camp near the trail in Clearwater so we would have to probably do a small motel.


I'm looking for people who've actually done it. I find plenty of info on biking the whole trail, and plenty on going over just a part of it, but I can't seem to find people-- families in particular-- who've walked the whole trail so I can get their input.

Thanks...

through fact a million. Like somebody already suggested, St. Petersburg is linked with Russia. 2. Tampa Bay is greater nicely-known than St. Petersburg. 3. Tampa Bay has extra money. 4. in assessment to the different reasons that have already been suggested, maximum communities play interior the outskirts of the huge city yet nevertheless say they are interior the huge city.
