When completed, this phase (a 10- to 14-foot-wide shared-use path) will provide the connection from the West Orange Trail to the Lake Apopka Loop Trail, stretching through Apopka and Ocoee, from our Clarcona Horse Park (3535 Damon Road, Apopka) to Magnolia Park (2929 S. Binion Road, Apopka). When Lake County completes one other project later in 2026, the trail loop around Lake Apopka will be complete, connecting the Lake Apopka Loop Trail, the West Orange Trail, the South Lake Trail and the Green Mountain Scenic Overlook in Lake County.
