Fort Morgan Road Trail spans the length of the city’s Fort Morgan Road, beginning at Gulf State Park’s western edge and spanning more than five miles throughout the region. The trail is paved with asphalt and provides access for walkers, joggers, bikers, and inline skaters, paralleling the roadway through a number of tree-lined residential areas before its terminus at the Peninsula Golf Club.

It is an easy walk for walkers and cyclists of all ability levels, though visitors should note that its eastern end features a few mild climbs in elevation. Parking, restrooms, and drinking fountains are provided at the trail’s eastern end, which also allows visitors to continue along several of the park’s Hugh Branyon Backcountry Trails for further hiking experiences.
