We stayed in the Kissimmee area for an extended stay and frequently biked at this park. The bike path is paved, and the main path is approximately 3-4 miles long (one-way). The path is very well maintained and flat (no hills here). You can also rent kayak’s and visit Pioneer Village and the Homestead. I would recommend this area for biking. We did rent kayak’s and they do get busy so make sure you make reservations in advance especially if you come on a weekend.

We are local and had guests from out of town. We booked a tour, with Alex and Tia leading. We had a slow paddle south from the launch, very pretty. Although there were 12 in our group, it didn't feel crowded. Alex did a great job as lead guide, sighting birds, turtles and snakes. We will definitely keep this in mind for the future.

Go to the welcome center and walk towards the Pioneer village. It's well marked and good quality path. The $4 per person entrance to the village is a bit of a rip off. Don't go back back over the freeway into the trails by the swamp as they are closed off. This area has so much potential which is being ignored.

Since we were in the area for a bit, we thought we’d take a hike to see some nature and take pictures. We were the only car in the lot on a weekday afternoon. The trail is paved and wide open and great for handicapped but it was adjacent to housing projects that are not in the best shape. There were some people lulling around. Just a small section over water where there was good bird watching. We didn’t feel safe and there must be prettier areas around.

We had a very nice walk around the historic area of this park and then tried to walk a trail but were swarmed by mosquitoes who were even biting through T-shirts so we high-tailed it out of there. We were just killing some time so had not planned for a walk in a swampy area. It was a very enjoyable (but short) walk until we got to the mosquitoes!
This looked like a great place to kayak and they have rentals right there but be sure to wear insect repellent!

I rented a kayak from Steffee Landing. It was a beautiful ride going south. On the way out you float along with the current. If you go all the way to the end, you end up in the center of the cypress trees. It’s gorgeous and you feel like you’re in a storybook. Then you have to paddle against the current all the way back. It was not easy so be prepared. I guess if you needed a break you could hold onto a tree or something, otherwise you’re going right back to where you came from!

The water was low and there are lots of trees in the water. We were a few feet from a 5 foot gator, he splashed in the Water and went under our kayak. His tail taped my hand! It was kinda nerve wracking. We ran into a tree and it rained spiders down upon us. I screamed like a 4 year old. This was NOT my favorite trip and I suggest you be an experienced kayaker in order to take on all the downed trees. It is maneuverable with skill. On a good note, drop in is easy. Scenery was wild Florida and beautiful. Ruins of the old country bridge and lots of spots where the hurricane waters have dumped debris. Probably better at a higher water level.

We rented a canoe and Alex set us up with lots of patience for my 50 questions. Once you get past the traffic noise it becomes so tranquil and beautiful. We spent two hours here gently paddling through the creek. We saw some turtles and some very nice birds. I totally recommend this to get off the beaten path of the area amusements. Some portions were quite narrow so general knowledge of paddling is a must.

Rented two single kayaks for two hours with a friend while on a girls weekend in Orlando. We had a great time exploring Shingle Creek by boat. The kayaks were in good shape. Staff were helpful and friendly. This was a spur of the moment decision so it was nice that they had small dry bags for sale. It was the perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

This is a natural gem right off the beaten path in busy Kissimmee. We visited during the shoulder season so it wasn’t busy. The wooded trails are wide and great for walking and biking. The interpretive signage for the original homestead and wood shingle business were informative and interesting.

La entrada al parque es gratuita, lo que se paga es el alquiler de kayaks, que estaba algo de US$17 por persona cuando fui hace unos meses.

How much does it cost to rent a kayak?
Written 29 August 2016
We paid $28.00 for a single kayak.
They say it takes a minimum of 2 hours to do. We took our time and we finished in 2.5 hrs.
I do not remember the price of a tandem kayak.
Hope you enjoy your trip.
