Bike Trails in Central Florida - East
When I started to discover the bike trails in Florida I looked for a book about the trails. There are a few, but not what I wanted. No precise description, no GPS points, not many photos. Even how to get there, was very vague and good maps not included. So I decided to do it myself.
The first book came out a few years ago and is constantly updated. It contains the Multi Use Trails in East - Central Florida with description of the trails including GPS waypoints, current maps and photos.
All information is from February 2024. The book is sold in local bike shops around Daytona Beach.
Bike Trails in Central Florida - West
Since so many people are constantly asking about the C2C route, and complete and current information is not so easy to find, I published a second book for Central Florida – West including navigation for the C2C.
The book contains the trails in the West like SunCoast, Withlacoochee and Pinellas, but more important is the navigation for the C2C. In 5 stages it describes exactly where to go, which trail is part of the C2C. Maps for each stage and even the gaps are included.
All information is from February 2024.
Spring-to-Spring Trail
The Spring-to-Spring Trail is one of the most beautiful trails in Florida. Four springs are located along the wonderful route through beautiful nature, each worthwhile to make a detour to the park. Whether it's pancakes at DeLeon Park or Looking for Manatees at Blue Springs Park, there's something for everyone.
East Central Regional Rail Trail
On the old, no longer needed railway embankment a very nice multi use trail
was created, which leads from Edgewater to the Green Springs Park, altogether 57
km. At intervals there are benches as well as car parking spaces with
restrooms.
Another branch is from Maytown Spur to Titusville, at 28 km
.
St. Johns River-to-Sea-Loop Alliance
The St Johns River-to-Sea Loop is one of two top-priority Florida SUN Trails (Shared-Use Non-motorized paved trails). The 260-mile Loop is about 50% complete as of spring 2023. The Loop will become one of the most popular touring regions of Florida, inspiring residents and attracting visitors and new residents, and will connect people and communities and stimulate locally resourceful economic development along its entire 260-mile route. The Loop will become a model for active transportation and for place-focused tourism. The Alliance will become a model for stimulating local, regional and global involvement, support and promotion of trail planning, development and use.
Special thanks to Marguerite Ardito, president of the alliance, for all her wonderful work.
