Live Near the West Orange Trail

 

Fun, Exercise, Nature and low cost Family activities are a few reasons why  you may want to live near the West Orange Trail.  Also, If you enjoy the outdoors and biking, then you may want to live near the West Orange Trail.   The bike trail is over 21 miles long. It boasts  a 12 foot wide paved trail that weaves through beautiful rural communities like Historic Downtown Winter Garden and Oakland Florida.   It is typical to see cyclists of all ages and expertise levels.  Also, it is popular for jogging and inline roller skating.  The trail is going through an expansion and when completed it will be approximately 36 miles long.  The trail is ranked in the top 10 of all Florida Bike Trails. Along the trail are many great places stop and enjoy a break or a fun detour.  There are also some beautiful parks along the trail to enjoy that have bathroom facilities.  Since a big portion of the trail follows the old train tracks the parks are called stations and depots.  Chapin station one such park has a picnic area, playground, nature walk, basket ball and tennis courts all surrounded by large canopy oak trees. In Oakland they have a beautiful butterfly garden off the trail to rest at and enjoy a zen moment. The Clarcona section on the trail has a park for horses called Horseman’s Park. These are only a few examples. Of course, there are the exercise enthusiasts that don’t stop and ride the entire 21 miles.

I personally just love living near the West Orange Trail. The benefit of living near the trail is that you can just grab your bike and go.  I hate using a bike rack and to have to find parking. Living near the trail is so much easier.  It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get some great exercise at the same time. Why go to the gym and ride a stationary bike or a treadmill when you can use the trail.  Sometimes I just walk a couple miles on the trail and leave my bike at home. The trail is very scenic lined with beautiful trees and  and plants indigenous to central Florida.  On the weekends my family  makes a  day of it. We normally take a break in Downtown Winter Garden  for lunch  which is about 5 miles from my house, or we may park our bikes outside the Oakland Nature  reserve  where we stop in to visit the museum and walk the trails. See my video below on a typical ride on the trail and the stops along the way.
