Flat, slightly scenic, quiet. Rode from Myrtle Park to Vanfleet trailhead and back. About 13 miles round trip. Enjoyable ride.
I have ridden the Flatwoods loop for almost 20 years now and it's just great, getting better maintained and more accessible each year. I have hiked, road biked, trail biked and run this trail and its just a great place to be out with nature and others. I
Started at the north end in Rio Vista Park - literally a hidden gem - almost impossible to find! Coffee Pot Bayou is approximately the halfway point and a beautiful spot to stop and get a drink of water or top off your water bottle. Turned around at Vinoy Park and headed back. Trail was very smooth. Great for people watching or house dreaming ( million dollar homes ). Mid-day Friday there were very few others on this beautiful trail. Round trip just over 12 miles.
Looked like a nice park but had to evacuate due to brush fire
Was in Tampa for business. My wife and I rode the trail from Seminole to Honeymoon Island and back. We were very impressed with the trail. Thank you for this delightful opportunity to see this area. We will come back to ride the entire trail in the future.
I had walked this trial with my dog and I had biked the trail. Nice, nice trail!
Shady parts, sunny parts; you will find people there always. It is a long trail (at least by me) so bring water; put sunscreen and comfortable clothes.
I had walked this trail several times with my dog. It is paved woodsy, but not too many shade. The times I had been it has been only a few people, so, I do not like that. Also, I think it needs more signs for those like me that can be lost easily. Overall I enjoy this trial! Check it out.
Good Trail, flat all the way to Polk city. Miss the flat trails, now live in Germany.
Great bike trail with a lot of variety. The only problem is going through downtown Winter Garden where the trail goes through the heart of the city on sidewalks. You have to slow way way down to avoid others. If not for this I'd give this the highest rating.
This is a very good trail that makes a 7 mile loop while passing through some nice woods. We ride this trail often. The trail is so wide, you will ride mostly in the sun which will be hot in the summer time, but they do an excellent job of maintaining the hydration stations. Lots of riders come here to ride fast but there is plenty of room for passing so it's not an issue for us slower riders. There are also miles and miles of off road trails as well. In the evenings there is less traffic and it's more peaceful. Look for deer in the woods, especially on the southern side near the end of the loop.
