Explore West Volusia by Bike

Explore a different side of Florida on West Volusia’s bike-friendly paths. Many local trails are paved and low-traffic, making them great for families, adaptive riders, and casual cyclists.

The East Central Regional Rail Trail and Spring-to-Spring Trail form the backbone of local riding and are part of the larger St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop, which is still in progress.

You’ll find shaded stretches, river views, spring access, wildlife areas, and plenty of trailheads with parking and restrooms.
