To get to the Jax Baldwin Trail:
Probably the best way to get to the trail from Gainesville is to take
24
out of Gainesville to Waldo, connect with 301 and take 301 north past
Interstate 10 to US 90. Turn left on 90 and go 1.5 miles west on 90 to
121
(Brandy Branch Road). Turn north (right) on Brandy Branch Road and you will
see
the Trail entrance on your right in less than a mile. Total distance from
the
Gainesville airport point on 24 to the Baldwin parking lot is
about 50
miles.
There are usually port-a-potties at this end, but there is also a
fixed
building restroom only a couple of miles in to our ride directly beside the
trail.
