Biking, walking and roller-blading are common activities on this famous trail once used as a railway line. It is not very far from Orlando.
The trail goes about twenty miles. You can enter the trail in numerous places. Our favorite is at the western end known as the Killarney Station not far from the Florida Turnpike and Route 50. There are bathrooms along this trail and even reputable bicycle places to rent bikes.
We have bicycled this trail several times. We travel about 10 miles out going through the historic city of Winter Haven. It is just a delightful quaint old time Florida town waiting for your exploration. There is even a small museum along the route.
Our most recent find is the Quercus Quesinberry Oak tree, a magnificent old oak along the trail. There are sections of the trail canopied by trees, particularly by these oak trees.
One the weekends and holidays you will find more visitors on the trail. The trail is a good twelve feet or more wide, plenty of room for everyone. It is well marked with stop signs at all the intersections. If you have time and transportation, this experience would be delightful for your Florida experience.
