Thanks for your bike trail videos & for all of the facts & other things that you talk about during your videos. We will be moving to Orlando after retiring next summer & will be looking for a place close to Disney where we would not have to cross I-4 to get there. I wish we could move to Golden Oak, but we don't have the $ for that. We are thinking about Celebration, Dr. Phillips, Winter Park, Clermont or Kissimmee. I look forward after moving there to riding on all of the awesome bike trails like the West Orange & the Courtney Campbell Causeway. If you have any ideas on where I should look for a place or people I should contact then please don't hesitate to let me know. I can't wait to get out of the hell of IL. because the government sucks, the taxes are too high, the weather is not good & it is very boring. Florida is the opposite of all of those things.
Hi thanks for watching and for the comment! I don't believe there is any free camping along the trail. There are some sections that go through parks, such as Oscar Scherer State Park -- they DO have a beautiful campground there, but it has a fee. Happy travels! Josh & Liz
Sadly light rail is not a viable option in Florida where everything is so car dependent. Unless your destination is very close to the line you will need some form of public transportation and Florida is awful on that. At least they didn't replace the train tracks with a road like in my area (Naples)
What a great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks SO much for watching and for the comment. We hope you found it helpful!

Such an amazing asset to these areas. When I was more mobile, walking the greenbelt trails were so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing all the tips
Thanks for watching - trails like this are some of our favorite wherever we go!

There is a legacy trail connector in Northport, which is southern Sarasota county and it is about 32 miles long and hits the legacy trail in Nokomis
Hi - thanks for the additional details! Yeah, it's great that they have opened the connector. A beautiful ride for sure!

Is there any free camping on the trail?

I hate this trail!! It got rid of old historic railroad tracks!! It could’ve been turned into a light rail line but instead, it’s a stupid rail trail!
