BKRS BKRS REAL ESTATE Buy Rent Neighborhoods Resources Markets Contact Us BKRS.com — Florida Real Estate Bike Trails Orlando & Central Florida Central Florida has one of Florida's most developed cycling corridor networks — from the 22-mile West Orange Trail to Clermont's renowned hill cycling routes, the Lake Apopka Loop, and a growing urban trail network within Orlando itself.
What to know
Central Florida has developed a substantial cycling infrastructure over the past two decades — driven by the growth of paved multi-use trails, rail-trail conversions, and dedicated cycling lanes throughout Orange, Lake, and Seminole counties. The region's flat terrain (with the notable exception of Clermont's hills) makes it accessible to cyclists of all levels. Key systems include the West Orange Trail, the South Lake/Minneola Scenic Trail, the Lake Apopka Loop, and Orlando's Urban Trail, with additional dedicated cycling routes throughout the metro.
Getting around
22 miles of paved multi-use trail — Florida's busiest per-mile — through Winter Garden, Oakland, and Apopka, with the Plant Street trailhead connecting directly to downtown Winter Garden.
Schools & community
Clermont and the Minneola Scenic Trail offer Central Florida's only significant hill terrain — making them a destination for road cyclists and triathletes seeking elevation in an otherwise flat landscape.
Real estate market
The Lake Apopka Loop Trail offers a multi-mile natural corridor around Florida's fourth-largest lake — connecting to the West Orange Trail at its northern terminus near Apopka.
