Upper Tampa Bay Trail bridge over Gunn Highway in Citrus Park, Florida.

The trail currently starts from just off Memorial Highway and heads north along the Channel A canal. It crosses underneath both a Linebaugh Avenue bridge and CSX Clearwater Subdivision railroad tracks then wraps around the old Northwest Transfer Station landfill. It then follows an abandoned railroad corridor north along the Veterans Expressway.

The Upper Tampa Bay Trail also has a 4.3 mile section that runs from Van Dyke Road to Lutz Lake Fern Road connecting it to the Suncoast Trail.
