St. Cloud Biking... Florida

Growing Osceola County Biking Network

The City of St. Cloud is expanding its trails system to accommodate multiple users and create a connected network, enhancing the community’s recreational opportunities, and adding to the safety of trail users.

We visited two connecting biking trails along East Lake Tohopekaliga: 1) the recreational trail at St. Cloud Lakefront Park (a scenic 2-mile trail along East Lake Tohopekaliga with access to park facilities and linking to connecting trails), and 2) Fortune-Lakeside Multi-Use Trail (7 miles from Lakefront Park, along East Lakeshore Blvd. and Fortune Rd. to US 192).

St. Cloud Lakefront Park Recreational Trail - 2 miles

St. Cloud Lakefront Park features a two-mile recreational trail along the south shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga. The 12-foot wide trail is an easy ride with access to park amenities including a marina, fishing piers, swimming beach, restaurant, picnic tables, and playground. The trail links to the growing network of trails giving users access to downtown and other areas of the city.

Fortune-Lakeshore Multi-Use Trail - 7 miles

From the West Loop Pavilion parking area and going west, the Lakefront Park Trail narrows and runs 1/10 mile to Columbia St. where the Fortune-Lakeshore Multi-Use Trail begins. The 10-foot trail runs roadside with a grass buffer. This is not a destination recreational trail, but a good local connector.

The trail starts on the east side of E. Lakeshore Blvd. through a residential area along the lake - there are no crossroads on this side, but many driveways so be careful. At Brown Chapel Road construction is underway on the Kissimmee-St. Cloud Connector. The trail then crosses a bridge over the St. Cloud (C-31) Canal (6/10 mile).

Past the bridge, the trail runs lakeside along a wetland with no homes or driveways for about 6/10 mile. We ended our ride here, where residences resume lakeside.

In another 1/4 mile, the trail crosses to the west side of E. Lakeshore Blvd., then crosses Parton Settlement Rd. (2/10 mile). From here is about 2 miles to Fortune Rd. The trail runs alongside Fortune Rd. for about 3 miles, passing residential areas, businesses, schools and athletic fields. This section is busy with crossroads and driveways, be careful. It passes over the Florida Turnpike, and ends at US 192.

More St. Cloud Biking

Two other trails are available or in construction, we'll visit and report in the future: 1) Florida Avenue Multi-Purpose Trail (1/2 mile along the median of Florida Avenue from Lakefront Park to downtown with restaurants, shops, historic antiques district), and 2) Kissimmee-St. Cloud Connector (1.5 miles, under construction from Fortune-Lakeside Trail at Brown Chapel Rd., along the C-31 Canal, to the Neptune Road Recreational Pathway.
