Great way to commute to and from downtown
By masaishigami on February 15, 2008
This trail is a great way to commute to/from UCF from/to downtown.

The trail goes from Alafaya and Science Dr. to Forsyth and Patridge from there you would need to

Go left on Forsyth till Hanging Moss
Left on Hanging Moss to Semoran
Left on Semoran to Baldwin Lake

This is all possible to do on a sidewalk.

And you take Cady Way trail from there to Fashion Square Mall. Orange county plans to extend this trail to cady way trail soon. The right of way already exists.
Great Trail
By Derek on May 07, 2006
I didn't know that it was a rail trail! But the scenery is wonderful and for cycling it's a great trail for beginners. Would love for it to be longer!
Nice suburban trail
By Tom Reed on November 17, 2005
"As of 11/2005, trail extends about 7.5 miles from Forsythe Rd to Alafaya Tr. Most convenient access is on north side of SR50, between Forsythe and Dean Rd. Parking area is marked by sign.

Trail has all the amenities. Much of it is fairly well screened from Orlando's suburban sprawl."
