Hiking & Biking

Eco-adventurers will find the Daytona Beach area rich in natural treasures! We invite you to enjoy more than 70 miles - and growing! - of showcase trails. Hike or bike the nature trails, explore the lush botanical and tropical diversity each trail offers or bicycle on the beach. Rent a bicycle or take a hike without leaving the beaten path!

Long-distance bike riders can enjoy more than 45 miles of connected trails within Volusia County and, with additional connections to trails in the counties to the south and to the west, can travel up to 65 miles one-way. 

October through April is ideal for hiking and biking. However, early summer mornings can be a nice way to beat the heat. Please remember to plan accordingly and bring plenty of hydration, bug repellent and sunscreen, and observe trail rules.

Sweetheart Trail

The Sweetheart Trail is a multi-use pathway for traffic-free travel that runs along the Halifax River and through historic downtown Daytona Beach. The trail is part of Daytona Beach's section of the East Coast Greenway, a 2,900-mile-long shared-use trail between Calais, Maine, and Key West, Florida. The trail enters Daytona Beach at Sickler Park, under the Seabreeze Bridge, and continues south to Beville Road. The trail is named after the 75-foot yacht built in Daytona  Beach and owned by wealthy business magnate Charles Grover Burgoyne and his wife Mary Therese MacCauley Burgoyne, who retired to Daytona Beach in 1894. Burgoyne, who frequently cruised the Halifax River in The Sweetheart, was also mayor of Daytona Beach and the commodore of the Halifax River Yacht Club.
