Kissimmee Trail

Kissimmee and Orlando, well Florida in general are so bike friendly. I love being anle to go for miles on flat surfaces. Such a novelty coming from BC, Canada where it's all up! The urban part of Kiss trail loses a star for garbage, but kudos to the city the mowers were out keeping it tidy and theybstopped when we rode by.

Really nice bridge on one section of the trail but there are lots of gaps where you are just sent out into traffic without even a bike lane or sidewalk. Poor signage too. All in all, don't bother with this trail, Florida has many more that are way nicer.

Beautiful place. Very scenic. Since this a long trail, there should be at least one bathroom facility.

This morning I road the Northern Portion of the trail from N. Side of John Young Parkway to where the trail T off at Shingle Creek, The path isn't clearly marked however I met on of the Local which recommend the more scenic route. Please note that the official trail head go left (south) when you come to the T on the trail and then winds down under 192 and then East on the N Side of Kissimmee Airport to Central Blvd and then North Again. The trail on Central is mostly sidewall until you get 1/4 north of 192. As I mentioned I went North and off the Kissimmee Trail which runs parallel to Shingle Creek Preserve . The path is mostly shaded and there is potential to see a variety of wildlife. According to the local I met he said that Kissimmee is in the process of extend the North Route over Osceola Parkway. When the Path Y off before Osceola Parkway and I decided to Head South on West Carol Street and back to where I started on John Young Parkway. I am here visiting my daughter for the next few day therefore I will explore the Southern Route over the weekend and will post more.

This is a very long trail with lots of birds and wildlife to see! It’s got several different areas to ride and goes for miles. Pretty clean and in safe area. There’s a cool bridge to ride over that’s fun. Very Quiet and scenic. Lots of trees and plants. Please pick up your trash and be nice to respectful of animals😀
