← FL EAU GALLIE RIV HEATHER GLEN CIR AT MELBOURNE FL Single Tracks →

Description

Terrain: Singletrack trails and jeep roads through low lying wetlands bordering the St. Johns River. Check with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission prior to visiting because this area is open to hunting.<br />
<br />
This very scenic area attracts many city folk for off-road biking east of Orlando. The Florida National Scenic Trail with the orange blazes is open to bikes and offers approximately 10 miles of wooded singetrack riding. The Power Line Road is a wide grassy stretch out to the St. Johns River with good views of typical Florida wetlands. In addition there are many other roads and trails to explore in this 5,000 acre reserve. Bicycling trail maps are available at the kiosk. A minor point: a sign in sheet is available for signing it and stating your activity. This may assist in opening future trails in the vicinity.
