Miles and miles of sun-kissed trails
South Lake and Lake Minneola Scenic Trail
The 13-mile South Lake Trail (also known as Lake Minneola Scenic Trail) is known for its hills, lakes, and stunning elevated and expansive vistas. The trail is also part of a larger network called the Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail (C2C), which is currently under development and once completed, will stretch from the east to west coasts of Florida, from Titusville to St. Petersburg. The public beach at Waterfront Park lures you in with cool water and trailside amenities including restrooms and picnic tables while any of the side streets leading away from the lake will deliver you to the heart of Downtown Clermont.
