Confirmed from Mount Dora 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.
Mountain-biking park featuring jumps, obstacles and a skills area.
What runners say about Mount Dora Trail
“There's good parking and nearby bathrooms, plus a place to clean up and a bike pump available, which is really cool.”
Super fun windy twisty, technical trails in a pretty setting with lots of fun wooden berms. Mostly blue and beginner trails but a few black/red that I did not do.There is a fun practice area up front, good for kids. First time here, would come back again.
If you are a mountain bike enthusiast then this trail is for you! Well built and well maintained with great signage. Doesn’t it look like fun?
Great walking trail, Florida nature at its best. Close to dog park and easy access to children playground area. To playground, take bike trail to right, go over bridge, you will come to open area, go over hill and on ridge is playground. Also rope swing on big oaks for older kids.
This trail was a pleasant surprise... I went in there with low expectations and I was blown away by all the wooden features and fast flowy downhills as well as uphills. Gravity destroyer is absolutely amazing, the features there will keep you engaged but it's not for newbies.
