Confirmed from Shingle Creek Regional 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.

🐕 dog-walking favorite 4 mentions

“The same name park at the end of bass lake rd is a tiny park with a dog park area and a small walking trail with exercise stations.”

I'm embarrassed to say that I've been leaving in Kissimmee for nearly 20 years and this was the first time I visited the park. Wow I should had come sooner... This place is amazing to take a walk in the woods and forget about your every day problems.

★★★★★ — Rafael , Jul 2020

Great park to walk around. Beautiful scenery and very quiet and natural. Some areas were paved but some were rough. Boardwalk was really cool! We'll definitely go back again. You need to access park from 192 or across the street at visitor center.

★★★★★ — Cheftimp , May 2021

Shingle Creek is a hidden gem. The park follows the creek through an area harvested of trees at the previous turn off the century. The park is quiet and beautiful and a total surprise inside of Orlando. They have walking trails and kayaks for rent plus a bicycle path.

★★★★★ — Michael , Mar 2025

Is not bad, if you have dogs and kids and want to workout this is good for it. It had a small trail for jogging, playground, picnic, grills, dog park by weight and little exercise equipment for use

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.
