Cady Way stretches six and a half miles from Winter Park to Oviedo by way of the Fashion Square Mall. The trail has shelters and rest stops with benches and water fountains. Picnic tables and a playground are also available at the Cady Way trailhead located ¼ mile north of State Road 50 on Herndon Avenue, adjacent to the post office.
The Little Econ Greenway is located one mile north of State Road 50 on Dean Road and runs along the Little Econlockhatchee River. Nearly 5 miles long, the trail begins at Jay Blanchard Park and extends to Goldenrod Road.
Features:
