Honeymoon Island is adding a safer way to ride the park by bicycle. As the park is, there are no bike trails or sidewalks designed for bikes in the park.

The plans include a new, approximately 10 foot wide trail connecting to the trail at the entrance of the park. The trail will go through the toll booth area, run along the park interior through the parking lot areas, and end in the back of the park near the nature trail. Paving of the trail is expected to begin by the end of the summer.
