This trail along Lake Apopka is one of the best birding trails in Central Florida. Despite its name, the Lake Apopka Loop Trail isn’t truly a loop. But it does provide an astounding arc of 17.2 miles each way along the lake’s north shore, or a 34.4-mile round-trip. Open to cyclists, hikers, and (in some parts) equestrians, this is a very remote trail once you’re on it, a real counterpoint to the growing communities not far from it.
