Take a stroll, walk, jog, roller blade, or bike ride, along the Intracoastal waterway. The Lake Trail in Palm Beach is a traffic-free bike and walking path that follows the intercoastal waterway where you can appreciate different architectural styles of beautiful Palm Beach waterfront homes, owned by Palm Beach's more affluent families and celebrities. Enjoy gorgeous manicured gardens, historical places, beautiful private yachts, and fabulous views of West Palm Beach's newly revamped waterfront, along Flagler Drive. The Town of Palm Beach is the barrier island east of West Palm Beach inhabited by the rich and famous.

 

The Lake Trail stretches along the west side of the island from Worth Avenue (in the south) to Indian Road (in the north).  The trail starts on the south end at Society of the Four Arts. Historical markers point out many places of interest. Several historic sites along the route includes Flagler Museum, Duck's Nest (oldest house in Palm Beach) and Episcopal Church of Bethesda by the Sea (now a home).Visitors without bikes can rent them from the Palm Beach Bicycle Trail Shop, along with tandems, baby joggers and other wheeled things. The bike shop offers a great map of the Lake Trail and other biking routes on Palm Beach Island.

 

There are limited drinking fountains on the trail, it is best to bring your own water bottle. This is an excellent hazard-free bike trail for the whole family with lush scenery not to be missed. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail.
