MOUNT DORA BIKE TRAIL

The newly constructed bike trail in Mount Dora is one not to be overlooked based on its short length. The single-track 3 mile loop has a lot to offer with changes in elevation, which can sometimes be hard to find in Florida, to lots of turns and short loops off the main track for more experienced riders. All loops are named and marked well, loops labeled in blue are more difficult and ones labeled in red are most difficult. The trail is very well maintained, just be cautious of the loose sand in almost all of the turns as of Thanksgiving morning. This would make a great trail for beginning riders to learn and build their stamina on the short track. It is also challenging enough for the more advanced rider and has a few challenging obstacles such as the ramp and a big jump on the pure adrenaline loop, which should be used with extreme caution if you are a new or inexperienced rider. The trail is surrounded by forest and beautiful lush vegetation, so if you need a place to unwind and free your mind this trail is a good choice. In all this track is a great addition to Central Florida and is definitely in the areas top 10. The trail is maintained by the Ocala Mountain Bike Association, for a trail map click here.
