Orlando already publishes walking surfaces on park and trail pages. The city names a 0.9-mile sidewalk at Lake Eola, paved paths and trails at Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, and the Cady Way Trail with a Lake Baldwin loop. Orange County Parks and Recreation publishes the West Orange Trail. Entry fees, seasonal hours, and closures stay on those pages. Confirm before you go.
“Lake Eola Park is located in the heart of Downtown Orlando, with a sidewalk that circles the lake 0.9 miles in length, making it easy for visitors to keep track of their walking or running distances.”, City of Orlando, Lake Eola Park

How to use a city loop with CDC minutes
- Read CDC’s moderate-intensity talk test (you can still converse) on the activity lesson.
- Pick a loop whose distance is printed on a city or county page. Lake Eola’s 0.9-mile sidewalk is the shortest downtown option the city names.
- Confirm hours and any entry fee on that same page the day you go.
- Count loops against the weekly minutes on the CDC adult page, then take personal targets to a clinician.
