Kewannee Trail... Florida

Casselberry, Orlando Area Canal-side Bike Trail

The 1.7 mile neighborhood Kewannee Trail begins at SR 436 in Casselberry (next to Semoran Skateway), and ends at Oxford Road in Fern Park. Popular for biking, running, and walking, many families enjoy the trail for recreation as well as access to schools, shopping, and library. It also connects with the Casselberry Greenway Trail at Wilshire Blvd. The trail mostly runs behind homes along Howell Canal for an easy ride. The roads except for Kewannee Trail are smaller, though caution should be taken when crossing. The trail passes through Kewannee Park which also serves as a trailhead. Though not particularly large, Kewannee Park is well kept with lake, small pier, and cool boardwalk through cypress swamp; a great spot to take small children to bike and play.

Biking the Kewannee Trail... Comments and Photos

Only 1.7 miles, but a fine neighborhood trail. A great place to wear out the kids! Pack bikes and lunch and start at Kewannee Park. Check out the boardwalk, pond and pier. The wide, paved bike trail follows a canal and greenway, with only 4 residential street crossings.

Semoran Skateway to Kewannee Park

Leaving the parking lot at Semoran Skateway, the trail quickly arrives at Howell Creek. Although running behind homes, proximity to the canal maintains a peaceful feeling. There are no road crossings until Kewannee Trail - the biggest along the trail.

Kewannee Park

The 6-acre park has parking, restrooms, playground and playing fields, pavilion, fishing pier, boardwalk and walking trails. The very pleasant boardwalk goes into a nature area - connect back to the trail or continue on the boardwalk to Kewannee Pond and the park. We walked our bikes along this boardwalk for a pleasant diversion - this is an unexpected oasis in a busy suburban area.
