This is one of my favorite trails in the area that a lot of people don't really know about. It is…read morean easy pathway to walk and varies from gravel to paved and then even into just grass. You do need to watch the weather because if you're trying to do the loop it can get a little too marshy back there to make it possible. Bring bug spray. The horseflies almost carried me away. If you'd like to look at nature and just get outside and walk this is a great spot to do it. Watch your footing because some of the spots do get a little slick.

Great underused trails. Short but sweet.. 4 miles of technical butchery…read more.. Have been visiting this trail on and off for a dozen years now... For the most part they have remained nearly original with only a few refinements... Refinments for the better I should add... This is not the longest, or most technical trail around but it's four mile loop will work you hard... This is despite its decieving, mostly blue and green trails... It is well marked and the local volunteers Keep it well maintained... The trails are entirely canopy covered and beautiful enough for just a leisure pedal through the woods.. But with the elevation changes and switchback there is no time for a leisurely ride... This is an honest four mile trail that will work you... Better be prepaired for a challenge when you get here... Enjoy...

This is a very well maintained mountain bike system. It's comprised of about three miles of…read morebeginner and intermediate trails and an additional 2 miles of expert level Trails. There is also a skills park at the entrance to practice some built elements before encountering them on the trail. It's located by the MT Dora dog park, behind the softball fields. There is the right amount of parking. That is, if the lot is full, then so its the trail and you'll probably be either frustrated behind someone slower than you or frustrating someone who's faster and stuck behind you. That being said, 90% of the folks I've met riding have been nothing but pleasant. You'll find the occasional rider "doing it for Strava" but that's fine. Just roll with it (ba da boom) and roll your eyes while you stick w your pace. Sure there are other more elite trails in central Florida. But for a quick after work ride, this one hits the spot.

This is a very good trail; but wait, there's two trails…read more There's a separate mountain bike trail, and then there's the cement paved trail. We did both on our visit but you have to have a bike that can withstand sand cause if you don't you'll have to get off and push your bike like I had to on several parts of the paths. However; it was not in vain because we got to see deer that are apparently not afraid of people and come up real close to you. It seems like they're use to having people feed them. Then there's the cement trail which takes you through the beautiful neighborhoods and you see trees and pass by farms with horses and kinds of farm animals. It's very nice and relaxing. The parking area for this trail is chock-full-o goodies! Restrooms, an area for you to even rinse off your bike, and to put air in it.

Checked this mountain bike trail out for the first time this weekend and enjoyed it (writing this…read moreas a beginner MTB rider, btw). It is built and maintained by SORBA and according to their website is about 2.5 miles long. Finding the trail head and parking lot was a breeze. Bathrooms directly adjacent to the trail head. This trail is about 60% open, scrub land with somewhat wide trails suitable for a beginner. The open spaces duck occasionally for short jaunts through treed single track while staying mostly flat. I did the main loop and decided to try out the blue trail that heads south for about .4 miles... This portion was cut through saw palmettos and featured lots and lots of jarring root knots. It made for a not too fun ride! I got to the end of this short piece and decided to take the fire road back to the main loop. I'd had enough, lol. I saw on the map that there was more trail to be had but I'll check it out another time. The trail is mostly well marked but I did get turned around one time. No big deal since I was the only one out there this morning. I did come across TONS of deer. It seemed like every time I turned a corner deer were jumping out of the way. After I realized what they were it was very cool to have them out there with me. Overall a scenic, if mostly flat, ride on a well-maintained trail. I'll be back!

My group loved the black diamond trails which I failed at multiple times but it was so neat to weave in and out of all the different bmx like courses of ramps and drop offs and hills. We all partook in the downward slope one and that was a ton of fun! Again, this is no easy course for anyone. The trails , even the easy ones, all have some degree of difficulty. But the park was super clean, very well managed, and had excelled signage so you knew exactly where you were going and getting into!

I entered at the Jones East Trailhead, which has plenty of parking and also has restrooms at the…read moreentrance to the trailhead. Walking the trailhead was relatively simple and relaxing. I did encounter a few other people (they were either walking like myself or on a bicycle). The path itself is somewhat narrow, but it was enough for us to pass each other with no real inconvenience. Little Big Econ State Forest is a pretty cool place to check out. Walking the path, it was easy to forget that you were just outside of a major United States city in the twenty-first century. I seek out these spots where I can walk through the trees and forget the troubles of living in a modern city in today's modern world. Little Big Econ State Forest is a cool place to seek out if you are looking for a respite from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.

The stream along side most of the trail is beautiful. There are many benches along the path that offer a nice view of the scenery with shade. We took our pups and hiked for about 2 miles. The hikes range from 3 - 10 miles. I saw they do offer camping as well. Make sure to pack some water. It was nice to see many tamiles and couples enjoying the outdoors. We loved the variety of scenery and that it has lots of natural shade throughout the hike.

Chuck Lennon is a Park and MTB Trail that does not get too much recognition only because of the…read moreother well-known MTB parks an hour of its surrounding areas. But this place is definitely worth checking into. The park has amenities; Bathroom, Bike Washing Station, Playground, Soccer Fields, amongst others.   There are enough trails equipped within this trail network to satisfy all type of different skill set riders. The first trail entrance from the parking lot alone leads you to a small pump track to get your blood pumping...then it tails off to the Intermediate, Advance Trails and Jump lines areas as well as some novice, flat trails.   And if that is not enough, just ride across the parking lot, where you will meet a separate trail on its own called Awesome Possum. This trail has some Intermediate trail areas, but for the most part, it is mainly Cross Country (green) trails.   All the trails here are well maintained and well-marked for especially for emergency situations.   The only caveat about Chuck Lennon is it is not an ideal place to ride when it has rained days prior. This is when majority of the Intermediate and Advanced trails would likely be closed due to their slippery conditions.   Other than that, who would not want to enjoy a new trail to visit. So come on by check out what these trails has to offer.

The bikers we chatted with love the trails here- we dipped in to look at the maps for future visits. There are 2 small parking areas for biking and then further down the road is a sports complex and playground and a bigger parking lot.

Big open spaces- there is a cattle ranch that borders the road leading into the park- just a breath of fresh air- literally!

The park is open from 8 AM to 6 PM and I have a recommend staying at the full day. It was so nice and relaxing plus parking was only three dollars. 10/10

There is also an option to rent tubes outside the park! You have to get there SUPER early to get in as there will be a line!! You walk to the very beginning and the spring will take you with the current all the way to the end where you need to get out and walk all the way to the beginning!! I have seen a hand full of people trying to walk back while in the water but it is a work out! They have showers, restrooms and even a concession stand! You can even camp there and they have trails to walk through. The beginning of the spring is probably the deepest at -about 3ft and the rest is about 2 feet tall if that! There is also a kiddie pool area that is part of the spring. It was only $5 to get in for 2 people in one car and bring cash! It is a nature park and you do see wild life!! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because if it is peak season you may not get in unless you get in line by 6am Make sure to pack a lunch or use the grill there... they also have pavilions you can rent

Plenty of parking space. There is a bike washing station and pavilions. This trail offers hiking, biking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, playground, canoe launch, boardwalk and an observation tower.  East end of trails are easy trails, mainly flat, which are open to biking, hiking and horseback riding (just follow the signs accordingly). The trails are mainly blue rated West end trails are more advanced, rooty sections. All in all...this is a hidden gem of a trail most mountain bikers are not familiar with. It is well maintained and the locals here are super friendly.
