Tweetsie Trail

A little Sketchy

March, 2025 by mandy.smith2020

The trail is well maintained. You are mostly riding through town. The last 3-4 miles are a little sketchy. You are riding behind and in between factories. Nice ride overall if you’re just looking for somewhere to ride your bike.

Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail

Fun trail! Lots of amenities

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

I have ridden many rail trails across the US. One of the things that I look for are access to water, bathrooms and food. This trail has it all! Warm spring day - lots of people & dogs out enjoying the trail with happy smiles. There are areas of downed trees on either side of the trail from the Hurricane damage but it doesn’t affect the trail at all. It is paved asphalt so there are “root humps” here and there but nothing terrible. Gentle inclines and declines. I enjoyed my ride!

Thermal Belt Rail Trail

Wonderful trail, great signage, trail wasn't to busy. Stop by Grumpys if you have any bike needs. They are super friendly and have great accessories. Only improvement I would make is a restroom at each TH.

Thermal Belt Rail Trail

wonderful trail

October, 2024 by keowe

We just rode this trail yesterday. It was open all the way. They did have a lot of trees down but all are cleared off the trail. Highly recommend this trail.

Lyman Rail Trail

Really nice trail

October, 2024 by zgqk8kh26n

This was my first trail I went on after breaking my foot and 12 weeks post surgery I was ready to get out and this was the perfect trail. Short and sweet and easy to complete ¿¿¿

Glenn's Creek Greenway

The first .6 of a mile from the botanical gardens is very nice, being separate from the road, and a long a creek. The last .4 is slightly uphill and alongside the road. Of course there are several miles of trails in the botanical gardens too.

Tweetsie Trail

Nice trail

September, 2024 by hippykamp

Very nice trail that is well maintained. Expect to see lots of other trail users as this is heavily used. Be aware that due to the type of gravel used your bicycle will get very dusty but don’t let that stop you from enjoying this ride

Tweetsie Trail

Birthday ride

September, 2024 by robinengala

What a lovely day to ride the Tweetsie Trail!

Oklawaha Greenway

Just right!

September, 2024 by kyle131

Just what I was looking for: easily accessible, thoughtfully designed and well maintained, beautifully picturesque in places! Just the right length to be a good workout if you do the whole thing or for smaller jaunts between the little parks in connects. This trail would be ideal for a group outing where the members are at different ages and abilities. Children and walkers could start at the Pet Park on 7th St., for example, and go north through the pretty, level, middle section that runs along the creek while the bicyclers cover the longer distance.

Oklawaha Greenway

Nice Greenway connecting several parks. Much of it follows power lines. Not really scenic. Nice asphalt trail. Quiet. I wouldn't make a point of coming back.

Shame to include a corporation in the name

August, 2024 by 05.unhurt-oceans

Nice place to walk. Gross to include a medical corporation in the name though. Gives it such a negative energy.
