Where does the Timpoochee Trail start?
The Timpoochee Trail begins on the west side of Scenic Highway 30A in Dune Allen, where 30A separates from U.S. Highway 98. The Visit South Walton guide describes a gas station, mini-mart and Subway at that starting point for snacks and supplies before a ride.
The guide counts mile markers from west to east, so mile 0 is in Dune Allen and the route runs toward Inlet Beach. The guide does not describe parking, so check with Visit South Walton before you go.
Can you rent bikes along the Timpoochee Trail?
Visit South Walton says rental bikes are available from several shops along the length of the Timpoochee Trail. Bikes can be rented by the day, and the guide suggests renting for the whole week if you are staying somewhere along 30A.
The guide says the trail is safe, wide and relatively flat. Check each shop's current rates and hours before you go, because the guide does not list them.
What does it cost to ride the Timpoochee Trail?
The attraction record lists admission to the Timpoochee Trail as free. The trail is managed by Walton County.
The guide notes that a bike rider pays two dollars to enter Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, which is near the start of the trail. That fee is for the state park, not for the trail. Check the park's current fee before you go.
