| Public details: Visitors can enjoy a leisurely bicycling experience along the park's main drive or a more adventurous ride on several of the park’s nature trails.
The park offers 11 miles of multiuse trails for hiking or biking. The O’Leno trail system also connects to the River Rise Preserve State Park trail system, providing an additional 35 miles of multiuse trails for hiking, biking or horseback riding.
Bikes are prohibited on the River Trail (Yellow in O’Leno State Park) and the suspension bridge.
If you are planning to use the trails in River Rise Preserve, please visit the ranger station at O’Leno State Park to obtain a trail map.
Portions of the trails may be strenuous or difficult to traverse due to sand, roots or mud. After heavy, extended rains, portions of the trails may be closed due to flooding.
Please contact the ranger station at 386-454-1853 to inquire about current trail conditions.
Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.
