Premiere hiking and biking destination by the lake

Nature Preserve Trails Lakeside Outdoor Recreation Boating University

Lake Apopka, a quaint neighborhood near Orlando, Florida, surrounds the very large Lake Apopka. The north side of the lake is entirely encompassed by a nature preserve, Lake Apopka North Shore. The loop trail at the preserve covers more than 20 miles for great hiking and biking opportunities, as well as extraordinary bird watching. Right off the east side of the lake, you’ll find the University of Florida's MREC (Mid-Florida Research and Education Center).

On the northwest side of Lake Apopka, Green Mountain Scenic Overlook and Trailhead loops around for about 16 miles, giving Lake Apopka’s residents even more great hiking adventures. Clay Island Trailhead is another park option for outdoor recreation in the area. With boat ramps all over the shore of Lake Apopka, this is the perfect location to rent for an adventurous, outdoorsy lifestyle.
