Elkton's Armstrong Park hosts several events each year and offers a playscape, basketball court, and pavilions for year-round fun.
The park also serves as a trailhead for the Palatka to St. Augustine State Trail, so it's a good spot to park and unload your bikes if you don't want to travel the full 19-mile length of the trail. This trailhead is 12 miles from the far end, in Putnam County.
The paved trail is 12 feet wide and 19 miles long, extending from its easternmost point, the Vermont Boulevard Trailhead, to Palatka. (It's a bit more than eight miles from St. Augustine's Plaza de la Constitución to the Vermont Boulevard Trailhead, along State Road 207, with no trail to ride on.)
It's suitable for biking, walking, and running, and ends in Palatka at East River Trailhead.
