Orlando Urban Trail

The Orlando Urban Trail is “the spine of Orlando’s trail network,” about 3 miles long, and 85% off-street, the city says. It runs from Lake Highland through Loch Haven Park to Mead Garden in Winter Park, past six lakes and over two bridges, with live oak shade and a link to the Gaston Edwards Trail.

Cady Way Trail and the Lake Baldwin loop

The Cady Way Trail starts about four miles northeast of downtown at the Fashion Square Mall and runs northeast through Orange County to the Cross Seminole Trail, the city’s trail page says. Two spurs make good walks:

  • Lake Baldwin loop, 2.5 miles around the lake in Baldwin Park.
  • Lake Susannah spur, 1.5 miles along the west side of the lake.

The city calls it one of its most heavily used trails on weekends and early evenings, with long shaded stretches. Orange County calls its section a 7.2-mile paved corridor linking Orlando and Winter Park, with water fountains, sheltered rest stops and emergency markers every tenth of a mile; its trailhead is a quarter mile north of State Road 50 on Herndon Avenue, next to the post office, the county says.

Lake Underhill Path

The Lake Underhill Path is about three miles east of downtown beside Orlando Executive Airport, and links six city parks from Festival Park to Park of the Americas, the city says. The loop around the lake is about 1.3 miles including the bridge. Lake Underhill Park, 4355 Lake Underhill Road, has a 0.75-mile trail with fitness stations, boat ramps and good bird watching, and you can watch small planes and helicopters at the airport.

Bikes are prohibited on the walking-path section of the loop near State Road 408, which starts near the Lake Underhill Park parking lot and ends at Lake Underhill Road and Anderson Street; cyclists should ride around the lake’s perimeter instead.

Shingle Creek Trail

The Shingle Creek Trail starts at Eagle Nest Park, north of The Mall at Millenia, and runs south along Shingle Creek, the city says. A recent 2-mile extension takes it from Oak Ridge Road to Sand Lake Road, where it meets the county’s section running to Destination Parkway near the Orange County Convention Center. There is a 2-mile loop around Lake Fran and two overlooks on the new extension. When finished, the regional trail will connect Orlando, Orange County, Osceola County and Kissimmee.

Orlando Southeast Trail

The Orlando Southeast Trail is east of Orlando International Airport near Narcoossee Road, about 20 miles from downtown. It is about 13 miles long, 90% off-street and tree-lined, through Lake Nona’s neighborhoods, the city says. Nature lovers come for the birds, mammals and reptiles along the way.

Little Econ Greenway (Orange County)

The county’s Little Econ Greenway is a 7.4-mile paved trail from Alafaya Trail and Lokanotosa Trail through Jay Blanchard Park to Forsyth Road, with riverside picnicking and canoe trails, the county says. Parking is at Jay Blanchard Park (2451 N. Dean Road), the Econ Soccer Complex, Arcadia Acres and Harrel Road just north of Colonial Drive, and there is a paved trailhead on the north side of State Road 50 just east of Goldenrod Road.
