Explore Orlando on Two Wheels: Your Guide to the City’s Premier Bike Trails
From scenic routes to rolling hills, Orlando has a bike trail for everyone.
Orlando recently earned the title of the No. 1 U.S. city for recreation—a fitting honor for a place that boasts year‑round sunshine, sprawling parks, and more than 150 mi of paved paths. Whether you’re a casual cruiser or a seasoned cyclist, the city offers diverse routes that cater to every skill level.
Important note: Depending on the season, certain attractions may be temporarily altered or closed. Check the latest healthy travel updates and verify current status with individual venues before you go.
Discover Orlando by Bike
Bike tours are an excellent way to see Orlando from a fresh perspective. A ride through downtown reveals historic architecture and vibrant street life, while a 20‑minute hop northeast into Winter Park offers serene lake views, winding canals, and lush canopy.
For a more rugged experience, head 30 mi northwest to Apopka’s technical dirt trails, which are perfect for off‑road enthusiasts. One of the city’s most beloved routes follows the Urban Bike Trail through Loch Haven Park, home to the legendary “Mayor” live‑oak tree that dates back to the time of the Constitution. Along the way, you’ll encounter outdoor art installations and the nearby Mennello Museum of American Art and Orlando Museum of Art.
Another highlight is the 22‑mile West Orange Trail, which traverses both urban and suburban landscapes of Orange County. Plan a detour to historic Winter Garden—just 14 mi west of Orlando—to treat yourself to local ice cream and a family‑friendly splash pad. For the adult rider, stop by Crooked Can Brewing Company inside Plant Street Market, a bustling food hall with more than 20 vendors.
