Confirmed from Apopka-Vineland Outpost's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Tree-lined trail for walking or biking featuring a picnic shelter.
What runners say about Apopka-Vineland Outpost
“It has always been pretty well maintained when I have stopped there for breaks while riding the bike trail.”
“The mile before and after the outpost is the most beautiful section of the 20.”
Great Trail! Many scenic areas. Lots of friendly people of all ages along the trail. Great eateries in Winter Garden!
I absolutely adore this place. I affectionately refer to it as Buddha Land since a most spectacular Buddhist temple is next to the parking place. The tree-lined walking path is fantastic.
Nice little park on the west orange trail. No permanent bathroom, but there is a portapotty. A small picnic shelter, tables, and playground wrap it up. Standard water fountain with doggy bowl keeps you and your pet hydrated. A fair number of cyclists use this as a starting point.
