Hiking

Cady Way Trail
This urban trail which opened in 1994 is a favorite of Orlando area bikers, joggers, and skaters. It runs from the Fashion Square Mall area in Orlando (southern trailhead) to Cady Way Park in the community of Winter Park (northern trailhead). For some of its length in the south, the trail passes the former Orlando Naval Training Center which is now owned by the City of Orlando. The trail also passes by residential areas, a golf course and a memorial garden. Certain portions even provide shade under a full tree canopy. This is a bustling trail, particularly on weekends, offering the visitor a chance to experience the excitement of an urban trail.
