Named eBike routes and access checks
1. Lehigh Trail, Palm Coast to Bunnell
Distance and surface: Visit Flagler describes a paved trail of approximately 7 miles (14 miles round trip) that begins at the Lehigh Greenway Trailhead on Colbert Lane in Palm Coast and ends at U.S. 1 north of Bunnell. It runs beside the Lehigh Canal for much of its length and passes through Graham Swamp Preserve and Palm Coast Town Center.
Trailheads: The Visit Flagler Trailhead Guide lists the Lehigh Trailhead at 5875 Colbert Lane and the Southern Recreational Center Trailhead at 1290 Belle Terre Pkwy. Old Kings Road is another access point. Expect several road crossings, so follow the crossing signals.
Extension: The guide lists the Graham Swamp Trail, a 1.7 mile paved extension leading to the State Road 100 Pedestrian Bridge.
2. A1A trail, Marineland to Flagler Beach
Distance and surface: The 100 Florida Trails guide describes about 19 miles of 10-foot concrete trail along A1A from Marineland, at the northern county line, to the southern county line past Flagler Beach. It is part of the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop and the East Coast Greenway.
Sections: The guide splits it into Marineland through Palm Coast to Beverly Beach (about 9 miles), Beverly Beach to the City of Flagler Beach (about 5 miles), and Flagler Beach to the Volusia County line (about 5 miles). The River-to-Sea Preserve just south of Marineland and Varn Park at Beverly Beach both have parking and restrooms.
Downtown Flagler Beach: Through the pier district the trail becomes a sidewalk shared with many pedestrians, and the guide suggests S. Central Ave. between Moody Blvd. and 9th St. instead. Flagler Beach also bans eBikes on the sidewalks beside A1A in its core area (see the rules below).
3. Palm Coast waterfront: Linear Park, St. Joe Walkway and the Intracoastal Waterway Trail
Route: Visit Flagler says Linear Park (31 Greenway Court) sits between the lanes of Palm Coast Parkway. From there, the St. Joe Walkway runs about a mile to the Intracoastal Waterway Trail, which winds about 2 miles from Waterfront Park (150 Waterfront Park Road) to the Hammock Dunes Bridge.
Stops: Waterfront Park has a bicycle maintenance station with a tire pump, pressure gauge and tools. Linear Park's unpaved Saw Palmetto Trail is a beginner mountain bike loop.
4. Graham Swamp Preserve, Palm Coast
West side: Visit Flagler lists a 2.18-mile, ten-foot-wide coquina trail from Old Kings Road, with an elevated boardwalk over the swamp.
East side: The Trailhead Guide lists Graham Swamp Preserve East at 5140 Colbert Lane, with a 6.5 mile black diamond mountain biking trail of steep climbs and fast drops. Sidewalks link it to the Lehigh Trailhead.
5. Mala Compra Greenway trails, Bings Landing
What it is: The Trailhead Guide says the Bings Landing Trailhead (115 Mala Compra Rd) leads to a 5.5-mile mountain biking trail with technical climbs, descents and switchbacks, and to the A1A trail.
eBike check: Neither Visit Flagler publication gives an eBike rule for Graham Swamp or Mala Compra. Ask Flagler County Parks before you take an eBike onto the dirt trails.
Flagler County eBike rules
Florida law: Under section 316.20655, an eBike rider has the rights and duties of a bicyclist. The same section lets a city, county or state agency that manages a bicycle path, multiuse path or trail network restrict or prohibit eBikes there, and lets local governments set rules for streets and sidewalks. Florida State Parks allows electric bicycles on trails designated for bicycle use. Riders under 16 must wear a helmet, and after dark section 316.2065 requires a white front light visible for 500 feet and a red rear light and reflector visible for 600 feet.
Palm Coast: The City Council approved Ordinance 2025-18 on October 7, 2025. Riders must be at least 11 to use an eBike on city streets, sidewalks or paths, must carry a government-issued photo ID (a school ID counts), must give an audible signal when overtaking, and must slow to pedestrian speed, no more than 5 mph, near schools and crosswalks. Modified eBikes that exceed state limits are prohibited. Fines run up to $100 per offense, and officers may impound an eBike.
Flagler Beach: The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that the City Commission adopted an eBike ordinance on April 9, 2026. It sets a 15 mph limit on any sidewalk, bike lane, bike path or multi-use trail, bans eBikes on public sidewalks beside A1A or the beach between North 10th and South 10th Streets and on boardwalks, bans eBikes over 750 watts and riders under 11, and requires a helmet under 16. Fines are $100, then $250, then $500 within 12 months. Commissioners talked in June about revisiting the sidewalk rules, so check the city's current code.
