It’s a quieter trail, great for those who like to walk and think—or spot birds and butterflies. If you're looking to get lost in a little slice of Florida wild without leaving the city, this is your spot.

Cady Way Trail
For a longer walk with more open space, head over to the Cady Way Trail. It runs for over six miles and connects Winter Park, Orlando, and other nearby neighborhoods. You can hop on the trail near Baldwin Park and go as far as you want.
