Oleno State Park has several riding options:  There is a paved bike trail, a park entry road  that is quiet and about two miles long and gentle off-road trails. 

 

Off-road (dirt) trails:  Chandler will probably be preoccupied with organizing food, but if I can, I will lead a "history ride"  on the off-road (dirt) trails in Oleno.  Many of the hiking/biking tails in the park have been historic roads,  some of the trails were part of the Spanish Mission trails, connecting Spanish outposts more than 300 years ago.   The first Federal Highway in Florida, the Bellamy Road built in 1826, crosses the park and is still in the original condition as it was built.

 

Any other riders who are familiar with the Oleno trails, please let me know if you can lead the "history" ride  so I can concentrate on cooking.

 

Paved bike trail:  There is a paved bike trail that starts at the entrance of Oleno and goes to Fort White and on to Itchetucknee and the Suwannee River.   There is a great Thrift Store in Fort White, right next to the trail.  Since it is hard to get lost on a bike path, this would be a fun ride for casual riders, especially  for family groups.

 

Quiet country roads:  There are quiet coutry roads outside the park.

 

Hiking Trails:   Oleno has wonderful hiking trails.  You can hike them before or after the picnic. We usually have a group hike after lunch at the picnic.
