Confirmed from Neighborhood Lakes West Trailhead'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 Neighborhood Lakes West Trailhead
“Nice and clean, quiet and people are friendly.”
“Start from the neighborhood lakes scenic trailhead side and go towards horse park / west trailhead alongside the 429 south.”
My son and I rode here on 6/29/21. This is the western terminus of the trail. We started at the car park on 46. I have done a complete review with photos there. Come out and enjoy our newest trail in Central Florida!
This newly constructed trail/trailhead will be the future end of the West Orange trail! Right now it is only about .8 miles long, connecting north with the new Lake County Neighborhood Lakes trail which is currently 2 miles long.
Just wow. Love inline skating here. Start from the neighborhood lakes scenic trailhead side and go towards horse park / west trailhead alongside the 429 south. It's about 2.6 - 3 miles there and back...I go twice it's just too fun.
I love coming here to walk with family. Occasionally you see deer and snakes. But overall a good place
