West Orange Trail Website
The whole bike trail currently is 19 miles long, with excellent stations, outposts, scenic observation points, even a xerascape butterfly garden, and the Oakland Nature Center, with a 1 mile boardwalk leading to Lake Apopka. For younger riders, we chose to begin at the Winter Garden Station, which is a full facility Station, with a large playground, full feature bike shop, restrooms, water, air pump and more. Going West, we enjoyed the beautifully quaint downtown Winter Garden, stopped for some ice cream at Scoop's , and proceeded West to Oakland. Along the way we experienced a butterfly garden, met an emu, and discovered the Oakland Nature Center with it's museum of animal artifacts, and historical tools and more! The Killarney Station, is where our tour ends this time, but we want to go back and do more! This is a fabulous journey, come take a tour!
