South Lake Trail in Clermont FL - paved lakefront cycling path

What It Is

The South Lake Trail runs along the shore of Lakes Minneola and Minnehaha, connecting Clermont's waterfront parks, the Coast-to-Coast trail network east, and the hills of the west — miles of paved path used before sunrise by the town's famous triathlon community. Clermont hosts champion-level athletes and hosts them often: the trail, the hills, and the lakes make this the training ground endurance athletes travel to.
