We ride the entire trail, and it was beautiful. We went later in the afternoon and saw armadillos, alligators, and assorted birds. The trail is great on a bike, and was a lot of fun in addition to the great wildlife. We will ride it again the next time thru the area. We parked at Central Park (free) and road from there.
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!
Parked at the far east trailhead. Good parking and facilities. Great visibility with signals where you need to cross 207. Pavement is a little rough on westside of trail around Armstrong. Best to keep both hands engaged through that area. Rode it twice this week. Met a few others along the way. Highly recommend it.
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.
Terrific trail along Lake Monroe. Fresh and smooth surface (mostly) and a relaxing ride. Only 4.5 miles long however, but does connect to Cross Seminole trail, albiet at the end with lots of traffic.
I began near the middle at Soldier's Creek Park. I erred in heading northwest with the goal of connecting to the Sanford Riverwalk. Although I made the connection (and loved the riverwalk next to Lake Monroe, I had to ride primarily on sidewalk/trail adjacent to busy roads and commercial districts. The green cross walks and occasional sign aided in following the trail, but I still ended up missing a couple of turns and needed to double back. I am surprised I didnt collide with any cars crossing into offices and stores along the way.
When I made it back to the park (mm 15.5 or so), I continued southwest and found it to be a terrific ride. Few cross streets, open riding and much more interesting scenery. Primarily residential, there were a number of parks, woods, creeks etc along the way. Unfortunately I was running low on sunlight and wasn't able to get to the end in that direction.
I heartily endorse riding this end of the trail. Save the northern end for Sundays or low car volume days.
Not the trail you want to do for you first ride. It was amazing. Did about 21 miles of it. Now other trails are going to be hard to match this one. Saw a lot of wildlife, friendly ebike riders and it was beautiful. Lots of curves, tree covers trails and places to stop. I highly recommend riding this trail
Nice trail to start the coast 2 coast across the state.
I’ve ridden this trail several times. The trail itself is awesome. Not too many busy crossings lots of shade. I really like riding this trail. The one thing that takes away from the experiences too many bike riders who are very rude riding for too fast for this trail, walkers, people, walking, dogs, pushing strollers, etc., also passing in spots where they shouldn’t be running stop signs it’s getting to be where it’s almost dangerous
It would be nice if some of you realized that E trikes are mostly used by persons that have limitations, there are so few ways that my husband can enjoy the outdoors, this is one way. Not all E bike/ E trike riders are inconsiderate. Thank you
