Northwest Florida’s leading resort and residential community
developer, The St. Joe Company, today announces the grand opening
of the Watersound Trail. The 5-mile trail spans between Walton and
Bay County with its trailhead located adjacent to Watersound
Origins’ Village Commons. The Watersound Trail winds through St.
Joe’s timberlands, and connects with Gayle’s Trails in the Panama
City Beach Conservation Park. The Gayle’s Trails system, named in
recognition of Panama City Beach Mayor Gayle F. Oberst, is a
comprehensive trail system that the City of Panama City Beach plans
to span from Walton County to Hathaway Bridge with a connection
North to Pine Log Forest. There are currently approximately 13
miles of paved trail open to the public. The Watersound Trail grand
opening is another step in the pursuit of the City’s goal to have
the Gayle’s Trails system span approximately 30 miles throughout
Panama City Beach.
