Confirmed from End Of South Lake Trail'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 End Of South Lake Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is also the end of the Coast to Coast trail which will stretch from St. Pete to Titusville when complete. The part east to Titusville is almost done, with just one gap between the West Orange trail and the Seminole Wekiva trail.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Dec 2021

This is a great local bike trail with nice smooth pavement and plenty of distance for a good ride. Everywhere it passes through is very nice and there are lots of great sights to see along the way!

★★★★★ — Steven , Jun 2020

Great trail. Lots of shade. Wish it would continue further. Restrooms every couple miles.

★★★★☆ — Gary , Jun 2020

honestly this spot is just so good. we came here last weekend and walked the whole trail, it was way prettier than i expected from the pictures. my legs were sore after but totally worth it, the lake views are just unbeatable. definitely coming back with the kids next time.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
