Confirmed from San Felasco Mountain Bike 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 San Felasco Mountain Bike Trailhead
Every morning I come and run these trails. The trails are well used yet I never see anyone on them which is nice. Also, I don't know if it's the trail users or the park managers but I almost never see garbage on the trails. Nothing ruins a wilderness experience like garbage so I truly appreciate the cleanliness.
When when I'm in Florida this is my daily ride I love these trails. I always meet the coolest people and have an awesome time on these very flat non-technical trails I wish they would do a little bit better job at the directions because for somebody who's out of town it can be confusing I've met personally some people…
This is our happy place for mountain biking. Beautiful forest with both flowey and moderately challenging trails. Expect some roots and sugar sand. I appreciate the park updated its signage recently to provide more information to hikers. Hikers are welcome but be careful and be forewarned.
Nice trails easy trails. I wish I could have ridden all of them, but this place is huge. For a Sunday, this place was empty, and the locals must love that as most of the trails are shared with hikers and horse riders, we only run into one group of hikers. Also, all the trails are two-way.
Trail conditions & character
“Nice longer trails with flow sometimes interrupted by roots.”
“Some moments of speed when we had an elevation drop for us .”
“There is all sort of level, from the beginner to advanced, you can see deers and even gators around.”
