Confirmed from Cady Way Trail Park'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.

What runners say about Cady Way Trail Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (48 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Enough shade is available so that the Florida sun wasn't too overwhelming.”

This is where the trail dead ends into Fashion Square mall. Supposedly when the mall is redeveloped the trail will be extended through the mall property, but you can continue on the sidewalk and follow the bike route signs to Druid Park.

★★★★☆ — Joseph , Dec 2021

First time using the bike trail.it was amazing. Crossing the bridge over 50 was a huge challenge since I have a big red cruiser without gears. But I made it. Lots of shaded areas throughout the path. Will definitely be going here again.

★★★★★ — Sheri , Aug 2016

Excellent place to get outdoors and ride the trails. The only thing that is confusing is there are not much signs that tell you to follow the Cady Way trail and there are two separate lanes cut in between the middle of the trails. Some parts of the trail needs to be repaired and labled saying Cady Way Trail

★★★★☆ — Kirk , Aug 2017

Awesome bike path that winds through the heart of Orlando. Really wonderful wide path going through Baldwin Park and other great parts of town.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
