Erosion Forces Closure Of Elfers Spur Trail Extension

PINELLAS COUNTY, FL — The Elfers Spur Trail Extension of the Pinellas Trail that runs between the Fred Marquis Trail, near Rivo Place, and connects to the city of Tarpon Springs’ North Anclote River Nature Park, is closed indefinitely due to safety concerns about erosion caused by the river.

Pinellas County and the city will be discussing the situation to determine how best to proceed with a repair to the area. Barricades are up to alert trail users to the closure.

The Elfers Trail Extension extends from the North Anclote River Nature Park along the former CSX
right of way now owned by the city.
