I rode it down and back from Sorrento - part way into the Wekiva Trail. The trail is really nice in the middle - oaks, and parks, very pretty.
The southern end could be skipped as it has a lot of busy street crossing. A good place to start would be the Rooms To Go parking lot at mm 2.75.
There are2 tunnels under roads that are nice.
Street crossings could be marked better, need to pay attention when crossing - look for a No Vehicles sign and double yellow lines on the path at intersections (some are very faded). The path may jump sides or turn off, need to be attentive.
Pleasantly surprised with this trail! Saw a lot of different types of birds and boats along the river. The pavement was very smooth and there were quite a few benches a long the way. It was a straight shot and rarely encountered traffic. Highly recommend!
This wasn't really a trail. Just a side walk in a neighborhood. You do pass a church, golf course, playground, elementary school, tennis court, and little league sport complex. It was okay. Just felt like walking in my neighborhood. Sidewalk minimally maintained, but wide, bathroom at the sports complex but has hours.
Our take on this trail, is we loved it! We started at the south end, stopped at the historic house and pier. The trail is a dirt road that travels along the Indian River. You really feel like you are back in the woods or in the country. The river is along one side and the back yards of these lovely homes are on the other side. There are beautiful golf courses along there as well. We have E-bikes, so we enjoyed the straight stretches to “open them up.” We rode north to the preserve and headed back.
We loved this little trail! Hit it in the morning while staying over on Vero Beach. Short but sweet!
The reviews on Trail Link were mixed but here’s ours! I wouldn’t go out of my way to ride this again. This is a mostly hard packed dirt road. It’s been scraped and wide enough that the occasional car can easily pass. A few soft areas and a lot of washboard sections. Some shaded and some wide open. A few turns and pretty flat. It does offer some views of very nice private homes and the Intercoastal Waterway. About half is open and half nicely shaded. There are 2 road crossings and one is busy Florida Route 510; be carefull here! We started at the Northern end where there is parking lot and a restroom. I plugged in “Bird’s Impoundment Trail” to lead me to the entrance road. The Trail ends abruptly at Old Winter Beach Rd. and A1A. The Trail is on the road built in the 1920s and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Along the road is the Jones Pier, the oldest pier in Indian River County; and Pelican Island, the first national wildlife refuge. A nice guide here: https://visitindianrivercounty.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jungle-Trail-Map.pdf
Been walking the trail for seven years and trail is becoming more and more popular for homeless camps in the woods. Witnessed a man beating a girl. Had a man pushing a shopping cart screaming at me telling me I am walking the wrong direction. More and more trash along the trail and food on benches . All good things come to an end.
I have seen so many close calls with small children and groups renting bikes and organizing standing on the trail when speeders come down the hill and fly past them. Killarney rentals should come out the side door and not directly onto the trail or slow the traffic down.
Living in Apopka, I've been on portions of the West Orange Trail MANY times. Your description starts at the southern point at the bottom of Lake Apopka and ends with the words describing the trail ending at its southern point along Lester Rd. You should change the word "southern" to "northern". Otherwise, a nice description of a very nice trail. Thank you.
I was amazed at the natural beauty of this trail. Very scenic from Edgewater going South. Restrooms in Edgewater were spotless. I liked it and would go again!
The trail is well maintained. There are a lot of road crossings and this in general is poor for road biking with only a few sections that are decent in length without interruption. For those using tri bikes there is essentially nowhere I felt comfortable in the aerobars. This is better suited for more leisurely activities.
