Bicycling in West Volusia

Showcase Multi-use Trails

You’ll discover a different side of Florida on our trails,  which wind through small friendly communities, along  the magnificent St. Johns River and through many beautiful parks.

The West Volusia County region has two multi-use trail systems: the Spring to Spring Trail and the East Central Regional Rail Trail, which are incomplete, but still offer miles of recreational enjoyment as they traverse through shaded tree canopies, open prairie, cypress swamp and magnificent vistas of pristine lakes and the St. Johns River.

These large trail systems are part of an even larger trail: The St. Johns River to Sea Loop – which is still in development, and will be a cyclist’s dream.

Spring to Spring Trail

When complete, the Spring to Spring Trail will stretch 26 miles from Gemini Springs Park in DeBary to DeLeon Springs State Park located in DeLeon Springs. To date, Volusia County has completed several segments. In addition, five trailheads have been built for your convenience at DeBary Hall Historic Site, Gemini Springs Park, Lake Monroe Park, Lake Beresford Park, Blue Spring State Park and along Grand Avenue in Glenwood.

Visit Volusia County to keep up with additions and updates.

East Central Regional Rail Trail

The East Central Regional Rail Trail, is being constructed along the longest abandoned rail line ever purchased in Florida. When complete, the rail trail will cover 50 miles, stretching from Enterprise to Edgewater with a 10-mile leg through Brevard County to Titusville. The first completed 5.7 mile trail segment winds through green canopies of trees and unspoiled rural areas from a trail head at Green Springs Park in Deltona to State Road 415 in Osteen. The rest of the trail can be traveled by off road bicycles.

On Road Bicycling Routes

One of the best places from which to appreciate our spectacular landscapes, historic sites, wildlife, welcoming communities and bountiful recreational resources is the seat of a bicycle. Take your time exploring our many parks, the St. Johns River, charming historic towns and festivals. Bicycling opportunities abound here from mountain biking trails to leisurely pedaling along a country lane.

The Florida Bicycle Association headquartered in DeLand, is an advocate for a bicycle friendly state. Their website has a Florida Touring Calendar and information on cycling education.

Bike Florida is primarily a touring organization and offers tours that link small towns with natural and historic landmarks. Each Spring, the Bike Florida organization sponsors a week-long tour with riding destinations that change each year. Bike Florida also conducts safety programs.
