Seminole-Wekiva Trail...

...is located in the northern reaches of the Orlando, Florida area, and runs for 14 miles from Altamonte Springs to the Wekiva River. Its connection with other trails makes it 30 miles long and reaches Longwood, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo. This paved trail is a rail-trail running on the former Orange Belt Railway line, at one time the longest railroad in the country.

Three parks and 2 schools are connected by this trail. Lovely forest borders much of the trail, and though residences line sections, the trail still gives the feeling that you are removed from dense population. A number of small sub-division roads are crossed easily, and major roads cross at traffic signals.



The worst crossing of Highway 434 has a new underpass that is substantially completed as of end of January 2009 and close to opening is shown here...
