Three Ways to Search Bike Trails: (1) Find by County (links below), (2) see Alphabetically A - Z, or (3) use our Bike Trails Overview Map (below), a visual overview to help find the best bike trails near you. We also report on some unpaved "eco-biking" trails on public lands in Central Florida, and on "New Urban" planned communities that incorporate biking into their plans.

D = "Destination Trail" of special interest, due to length and other features; worth a drive (most include Neighborhood Trail characteristics).
N = "Neighborhood Trail" serving a community for recreation and commuting, linking homes, schools, parks, business, and shopping.

A Call to Action

We acknowledge other cities rank as more overall pedestrian- and bike-friendly due to planning for designated bike lanes and the like, and we also sadly acknowledge that Florida ranks highest for biking fatalities. This is a challenge to Orlando and the surrounding communities to continue their efforts and invest in biking and walking options for both safety and health.

To accomplish this, funding for bike trails and bike- and pedestrian-friendly roadways needs to be a transportation priority, not only at the local but at the State and Federal levels. A big step forward was funding for the Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail . We encourage you to contact your legislators and representatives and let them know you support funding for bicycle-related projects. Here's a link to find your Florida State representatives .
