Here are some of the best walking trails in and around Poinciana, each with its own charm and rhythm.
Vance Harmon Park Trail
Start close to home with the paved path at Vance Harmon Park. This community favorite has a well-maintained loop that winds through grassy fields, shady trees, and around the park’s open recreational spaces. It’s great for an easy, flat walk—whether you’re catching up with a friend, walking your dog, or just stepping outside for some fresh air.
You’ll also find benches, open space, and nearby courts if you want to mix walking with other activities. Go early in the morning or just before sunset to catch the best lighting and cooler temps.
Lake Tohopekaliga Trail
For a walk that comes with water views and wildlife, head to Lake Toho, just a short drive away. The Lake Tohopekaliga Trail runs near the lake’s shoreline and features wide sidewalks, boardwalk stretches, and scenic overlooks.
It’s a great trail for birdwatching, especially around sunrise or sunset. You’ll likely see egrets, herons, and maybe even a gator floating nearby (from a safe distance, of course). The breeze off the lake keeps things feeling fresh, and the wide-open views are always a win.
Shingle Creek Regional Trail
Looking for a longer, more immersive walk? Shingle Creek Regional Trail is worth the short trip north. This scenic trail runs through cypress forests, wetlands, and green stretches full of local wildlife and peaceful surroundings. There are paved and unpaved sections, so you can take your pick depending on the vibe you’re after.
The trail is perfect for when you want a peaceful escape from your daily routine. Whether you’re walking solo with a podcast or strolling with a partner, this trail helps you reset and reconnect with nature.
Mary Jane Arrington Aquatic Center Trail
Right in Poinciana, this trail offers another quick, simple walking loop surrounded by open fields and recreational amenities. The Mary Jane Arrington Aquatic Center Trail is short but smooth and a great option when you want something low-key and easy to access.
It’s also well-lit and ideal for evening strolls after dinner. If you’re just starting out with daily walking, this is a great place to get into the habit.
