West Orange Trail

Decent Trail

January, 2025 by mgelsomino27

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.

Pleasant Hill Road Recreational Pathway

trail

January, 2025 by tholzapfel

Paved path runs parallel to the road the whole time. Park in lot at Walgreen’s because there’s no lot at trail head. It was ok.

South Lake (Lake Minneola Scenic) Trail

Closed Section

November, 2024 by mattmortefolio

As of 11/24, there was a roughly a1000 foot section of the trail adjacent to the lake that is still closed due to past hurricane flooding. You will have to go on the road to get around it. No longer flooded, just covered with debris which will hopefully be cleaned up soon.

Fort Fraser Trail

No parking at Trailheads

November, 2024 by cindypearson2020

We were surprised to find no designated parking at either trailhead ends. We did discover a nice area at the Polk State College trailhead in Lakeland with picnic table. The trail was nicely paved except for a couple spots. Not very scenic but a decent ride.

Flatwoods Park Trail

Another really good paved trail

September, 2024 by stevecycles200

The only reason this isn't five stars, is some areas are bumpy. It is close to needing a resurfacing. Excellent shelters that are well spaced with water, real bathrooms, two parking lots, and entrances from opposite ends.

Old Fort King Trail

Only 2 miles is paved.

West Orange Trail

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

West Orange Trail

The trail is great but...

August, 2024 by webmail1

It's getting so dangerous with all of the electric mopeds I'm afraid to ride or walk on it.

Flatwoods Park Trail

I ran this today. It is a great trail. It's impossible to get lost. There is mile markers every half mile. This is important because you loose the internet. The park ranger was very helpful, and friendly. I have to say this is a favorite now.¿

General James A. Van Fleet State Trail

great trail

August, 2024 by loryad123

This is a great trail, beautiful shade. We saw deer, otter, a rat snake, and a pigmy rattlesnake. We love nature and if you don’t bother it, it won’t bother you. Lots of places to sit, as well as overview spots. Flat for most of the trail that we did. I recommend it highly

Flatwoods Park Trail

best skate trail

July, 2024 by brookeypav

Probably the best trail for in-line or quad skating in the state. Easy to get speed and fun to loop around. Also I have seen lots of wildlife on the trail from deer to hogs. Always a pleasure coming out here.

Cady Way Trail

For rollerbladers!

July, 2024 by bkmurphy

I am an average rollerblader and I very much enjoyed this trail. I gave 4 stars because there are a lot of road crossings, rumble strips and a bit of debris that you have to be careful of. Get there early though because there isn’t much shade and you will be directly under the sun as early as 8 AM. Otherwise, highly recommended for rollerbladers!
