The Town of Hilton Head spent an enormous amount of money on these trails in particular, because of the way they wind through the trees and over the lagoons. The bicycle bridges that were built over the lagoons are a work of art and can easily be seen from Pope Avenue.</span></span></p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">These state of the art trails are like a huge &ldquo;Green&rdquo; Billboard, (Hilton Head does not allow billboards of any type) advertising our wares to the millions of guests that visit the Coligny Beach Park and Coligny Plaza every year. I feel sure that these trails will be very popular with bicycle enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. </span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">I consider the Pope Avenue Trails to be the Crown Jewel because of their high visibility. However, the extent of these trails are amazing. The Town of Hilton Head has constructed over 50 miles of bicycle paths that cover all areas of the island. You can pedal to any one of the <a href="http://hiltonheadislandsc.gov/island/park&amp;fac.html">12 parks that are owned and maintained </a>by the Town of Hilton Head by following the signs and maps located along the paths. There are also <a href="http://hiltonheadislandsc.gov/Maps/pathmap.htm">hand maps that show the parks and trails available </a>for pick up. If you would like one of these maps, just send an email from <a href="http://randysrealestate.com/">My Website</a> with your name and address.</span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">Besides the 50 miles of Hilton Head&rsquo;s public paths, there are another 50 miles of paths within the plantations. Sea Pines was the originator of Bicycle paths on Hilton Head and their <a href="http://aspppo.com/bike_map_page.htm">trails are fantastic</a>. Just thing of riding past the world famous Harbour Town Golf Links, <a href="http://saltydog.com/stores/cafe/">The Salty Dog</a> at South Beach, the Harbour Town Lighthouse or the nature filled Forest Preserve. The Sea Pines Bicycle paths are available to their owners, guests and renters within the plantation. </span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">My favorite ride is on the 12 miles of Hilton Heads beaches. Some of my favorite stops are the newly renovated Dunes House in Palmetto Dunes, Turtle Lane Beach Club in Sea Pines or Coligny Plaza in Forest Beach. You can get a great lunch at any of the three and enjoy watching people or nature while you eat. If you are unable to bring your bikes with you, there are over 20 bicycle rental shops all around the island &ndash; all reasonably priced, along with many different types of <a href="http://hhibeachvilla.com/">Rental Homes and Villas</a>.</span></span></div> Hilton Head Liesure Trails and Bicycle Paths Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:04:00 -0400 http://www.randysrealestate.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/7/30/Hilton-Head-Leisure-Trails-and-Bicycle-Paths
