The San Sebastian Trailhead is a part of the Seminole Wekiva Trail and this particular place is located off of a main road on a quiet street and has a nice amount of parking. The path itself is pretty nice and was an enjoyable walk. It was a bit brisk this morning (somewhere around fifty degrees), but I enjoyed my time here. read more

We've been trying out some different biking trails around the Orlando area. We've now visited the Seminole Wekiva Trail twice. We like it because it's more scenic than some other paved trails. It's also quite long, so you can choose how far you want to go. The first time we kept going alongside I-4 in Lake Mary, but the second time, we turned and went over I-4 (yes, OVER) and then continued down the trail that way before heading back. Coming from Winter Garden, the San Sebastian Trailhead is the closest jumping on point, and it's also near the beginning of the Trail. The trail does extend a couple of miles further across 436 and down by the Costco, but it seems too busy and trafficky that way. My GPS didn't take me to the correct spot for the trailhead, though, so be careful of that. The road to the trailhead is next to the left of the Rooms-to-Go parking lot with only a tiny sign indicating it. If you turn into a neighborhood (like my GPS suggested), you can't get to the trailhead from there. I love to see the art work painted on the backs of wooden fences as I bike down the trail. Someone has done of excellent job of making boring fences look exciting. There's also a decent amount of shade throughout the trail, and I love how they've built two tunnels under major intersections for bikes to safely cross. read more

Easy four stars for easy access to the Seminole - Wekiva trail. If they build restrooms, I'll update and upgrade to 5 stars. Want to walk, bike, run or rollerblade, park your car here. To be honest, it's one of those "blink and you miss it" places. And it's one of the places that are hidden in plain sight. How many times have I driven past this place on my way to Costco or Foxtail or other destinations? In fact, when I first discovered the trail head, I accidentally parked at the fitness place right before the turn off and the had to quickly back out and drive 50 feet further to the entrance. Plenty of parking spaces await you but on holidays, those spots go quickly. Better to arrive sooner than later on those days! read more

San Sebastian Trailhead - Parking lot entrance - Parks Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

Whatever you do, don't follow the directions that are listed here on Yelp, you'll end up in a residential neighborhood wondering what happened. Ended up googling Seminole Wekiva Trail but it took me to the very beginning of the trail that is also in a residential area (what gives?) so we had to find a place to park within the area and hope that we wouldn't get towed. It's not until you get to about Mile 4 that you pass by a small parking lot with Seminole Wekiva trail sign and a small tunnel which was a lot of fun to ride through, I have to give it that. Other than the annoyance of having to find the trail, then find parking, the trail itself is just ok. I feel like there's a lot of traffic on this trail which means you have you stop frequently. There were parts that honestly didn't feel very safe and personally I wouldn't come to this trail alone. There was an area around Mile 5 that was very beautiful. Lots of lush tree's, the air thick with smell of fresh cut grass, it was near a park and that was probably the highlight of our ride. If the whole trail were like that I would have given it another star. read more

Yelp Challenge 2017 31/100- This is such a private and peaceful trail. The entrance is difficult to find (I passed it twice) but enjoyed my walk and scenery here. Because of the temperature it was important to me to have plenty of shaded areas - it didn't disappoint. The trail is also smooth for easy walking/biking/running and there is an awesome pound. read more

Get your run or bike on! For those in the Altamonte area, this is the spot to get your running or biking game on. This is part of the Wekiva Trail and mainly runs through a tree-lined path in quiet neighborhoods. The parking is pretty ample, but can get packed when bike or running clubs bring their teams early Saturdays or Sundays. My game plan is usually to run about 2 miles and if i need to grab a gatorade or if i didn't get a good poop that morning, it passes by a gas station with a clean bathroom. If you run 7 miles up it will take you to the Lake Mary area where there is a Panera and one of my favorite breakfast places: Peach Valley Cafe. The problem is if you parked, you'll have to run back the 7 miles! The trail can sometimes be overrun by a lot of bikers, so runners beware and keep to the right. Most of the time you'll hear them yell "to your left" It can be super tough running and training for all these Disney races in the Florida heat, but having a nice shaded path helps a lot. Happy running peeps! read more

San Sebastian Trailhead - Great running/biking spot - Parks Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

When out of town for business I always try to locate somewhere to walk and found this great location. I give it five stars because of the design. It is well marked and has plenty of distance for walking, biking, or running. I did 5 miles and could have done more if time had permitted. I also felt safe since there were many other people walking and it went through residential areas as well. Perfect place to walk for locals or visitors. read more

San Sebastian Trailhead - Nice trail - Parks Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

About 4 miles from this trail head you will be treated to local art paired on the fences. We enjoyed them so much and were quite inspired by some motivational sayings. This trail is also festooned with local flowers and shrubs that butterflies love, so they fly overhead everywhere!! Love love this trail! read more

It's a nice trail but as a woman running alone would not recommend. It is too secluded.

The Seminole Wekiva Trail is probably my favorite Central Florida multi-use trail. Yes, I like it even better than the West Orange Trail. This trailhead is at the southern end of the trail hidden right off of busy 436 in Altamonte. There is ample parking, benches and tables. No bathrooms here but you will find some about 1/2 a mile up the trail at Westmonte Park. BTW... the bathrooms right on the trail look like something out of a prison. Go inside the park, if it's open, for nicer facilities. Anyway, heading north on the trail from this trailhead you will pass behind homes in quiet neighborhoods and over bridges passing by creeks. You will have the chance for potty breaks and water as you pass Westmonte Park, then Sanlando and finally the Softball Complex before crossing 434 and heading toward Lake Mary. Go far enough north and check out the lovely Paint The Trail sections. I've cycled and ran this trail and always feel safe, even solo. There are enough users to make you feel not so alone, even on a weekday. And as Ches said, bike up to Lake Mary and grab lunch before biking back. The trail is shaded with gentle hills- it makes for a wonderful day. read more

The positive: The trail was only a five or ten minute drive from the Hilton, and it's a long trail. Also, the parking lot is close to several restaurants and bars, so you can grab some food and beer after your run. The negative: The trail is paved which is not my preferred running surface. It runs through questionable neighborhoods (I'm not a local, so take that with a grain of salt). There are trees, but they do a better job of blocking any breeze than of shading you from the sun, so it was very hot. Lastly, it intersects with several busy streets, so you will end up standing around waiting for the 'walk' sign to light up. read more

The entrance was a little hard for us to find but we found it! Nice parking and pond to hang out before or after you walk. Had a great walk/run. We took our two dogs and they loved it. Poops bags were available. The trail is shaded and private. It is smooth concrete. It has plenty of people on it biking and running so it doesn't feel unsafe. Like the bridge in the beginning right over some water. There is a clean bathroom and water fountain a little ways down the trail. Really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Paved trail, perfect for running, biking or skating. Surrounded by trees which makes workouts on sunny days more bearable.

This is one of my go-to trails to train for my running races. It's a safe trail, there's always someone on it, biking, or families with their kids skating or simply walking their dog. There are a lot of tree's down this path, so it definitely is a bonus for me, especially during the hot days. So happy they were able to re-open this trail after the hurricane took a big hit on it. You definitely will pass by some neighborhoods, streets, and pass some cool fence decor. I believe if you start at this trail and run it all the way up to Lake Mary (Panera) location it is about 7 miles, so if you're here for those long runs and need a breakfast stop do it. Then get picked up, unless you're really wanting to run the 7 miles back down then.. that's all on you. hah. But it's definitely a good trail and good place to get some exercise in. read more

What a great place to run! The San Sebastian Trialhead is a great starting point on the trail. They have a small private parking lot. I have never been there when it is too full to part. Along the path there are other entrances to the paved trail from other parks & neighborhood communities. People enjoy leisurely strolls, runs & bike rides along this trail all thru the week. I like the access to other parts for restroom use & for variety on runs. The first part is about 1.5 miles in, so you can easily practice for a 5k. read more

A great little trail for walking, running, or bike riding. Very scenic and beautifully maintained. Excellent spot for activity any time of the day. I travel it regularly on my way from Wawa or Foxtail Coffee to Crane's Roost Park. It's labeled on Google Maps as the Seminole Wekiva Trail. read more
