| The trails in South Lake might include large steep hills in certain parts of the trail, so know your fitness level and be mindful of the return trip.

| Observe wildlife from a distance.

| Be alert and stay on the trail.

| Bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the current weather conditions.

| Be extremely cautious where trail paths intersect with a motor-vehicle road.

| Dawn and dusk are usually when insects are present, so wear insect repellent while out during these times.

| Bring with you a snack and plenty of water to drink, but ensure that any litter is properly disposed of.

| Florida weather can be unpredictable, so be mindful of the weather forecast and keep an eye to the sky.

| The South Lake trail system is multi-use, so if on a bike, be mindful of pedestrians, joggers, skaters and strollers. Pass others with caution by ringing a bell or making an audible noise.

| To report maintenance issues on the trail system, contact the Lake County Parks & Trails Division at (352) 253-4950.

| Take your time; there is plenty to observe out on the trails.

The trails in South Lake are known for some of the most picturesque views in the state. Visitors to the South Lake, Lake Minneola Scenic and North Hancock Extension trails can enjoy beautiful hilltop vistas, lovely lake scenery, varied elevations, perfect picnic spots and charming parks. The 9-mile trail system boasts shopping, restaurants, historic sites,

conservation areas and many other

amenities.

The South Lake trail also connects directly to the 19-mile West Orange Trail.

The trail system features five access points spanning from the West Lake Minneola Trailhead near County Road 561, to Killarney Station located on State Road 438 in Oakland along the Lake and Orange County lines.

All of the trailheads feature parking and restrooms. The trailhead in Minneola is located at Trailhead Park on Madison Street. The park features ball fields, a basketball court, a playground and a covered pavilion near the trail.

The trailhead at Clermont’s Waterfront Park includes access to the lakeside beach and playground, perfect for sunbathing or picnicking, and is considered a popular destination for families, casual bikers, walkers and inline skaters. With a beautiful new pavilion, it also is the site for many fun community events, major triathlons and races. The North Hancock Extension trail is a favorite among professional athletes as it connects to the National Training Center, a renowned training facility where national and international athletes prepare for competition.
