Currently a "Neighborhood (N)" trail used mostly by locals - when the connections between Kissimmee and Orange County are complete, this will rate as a "Destination (D)" bike trail.

About Shingle Creek:

Shingle Creek was named in the late 19th century after the cypress trees that lined the bank, which were used to make wood shingles. Beginning in south Orange County, the creek forms the northernmost headwaters of The Everglades. Flowing into Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho), it continues down the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes to Lake Okeechobee and then The Everglades. The creek and surrounding area are protected wetlands due to their importance to Everglades restoration efforts.
