Trail users can travel between the City of Winter Park to the Fashion Square Mall to the City of Oviedo. The Cady Way Trail now stretches 6.5-miles with the completion of the new Cady Way Trail Bridge that spans across Semoran Boulevard just south of Aloma. The path of the 685 foot bridge begins at Ranger Boulevard, connects the trail to Forsyth Road and ends at Hall Road and Aloma connecting it to the Cross Seminole Trail.

The trail, which follows a former railway corridor connecting the cities of Winter Park and Orlando, alternates between single-width and two paths separated by a median.

Shelters and rest stops with benches and water fountains are located along the path. Picnic tables and a playground are also available for your enjoyment at the Cady Way trailhead located ¼ mile north of State Road 50 on Herndon Avenue, adjacent to the post office.

The Econ Trail is located one mile north of State Road 50 on Dean Road and runs along the Little Econlockhatchee River. Nearly 5 miles long, the trail begins at Jay Blanchard Park and extends to Goldenrod Road. This unique trail offers riverside recreation such as fishing, canoeing and picnicking.

The Little Econ River and its freshwater swamps provide an ideal habitat for a wide array of reptiles, amphibians and birds. Catch sight of some amazing wildlife while hiking the trail or paddling the river in a canoe. Birds, like Osprey and Red-Shouldered Hawks, as well as turtles and alligators may be seen while using this trail. And smaller, 4-winged friends can be found in our butterfly garden, which is also located along the trail.

Future Plans
Orange County Parks and Recreation has future plans to expand this trail both east and west, eventually linking it to Alafaya Trail and Forsyth Road.

The longest of the three trails is the West Orange Trail, which begins at Killarney Station on Old State Road 50 and extends north into Apopka. Ten miles of this 22-mile trail is equestrian, providing a beautifully scenic trail-ride. Four trailheads and five outposts are located along the trail, allowing you to park and access the trail. 

Bring your lunch and enjoy it at one of our picnic pavilions located at almost all of the trailheads and outposts.  A pavilion at Chapin is available to be rented for birthdays and other types of get-togethers. Simply call the Main Office to check for availability.
