Seminole Wekiva Trail

 

alt text

The nearly 14 mile Seminole Wekiva Trail is a paved recreational trail that has been designated as one of Seminole County's Showcase Trails because of its length, beauty, and accommodation of many users. The section of the trail that runs west of the I-4 overpass to the County line at the Wekiva River is also a designated part of the Florida National Scenic Trail

The Seminole Wekiva Trail, along with the Cross Seminole Trail, is also a part of the Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail, a continuous paved multi-use trail across the state from the Atlantic to the Gulf.

The Seminole Wekiva Trail was built along the former Orange Belt Railway, at one time the longest railroad in the country. Peter A. Demens of Longwood was the driving force behind this railroad and, despite many difficulties, had the railroad built all the way to St. Petersburg.
