I haven’t seen the rubberized surfaces anywhere else.
If you are looking for a short loop with no bikes or carts and a variety of surfaces the is one around Lake Sumter Landing. Start at the bus depot walking away from the lake. Cross Old Mill Run and use the brick walkway that takes you through the Chops patio. Walk along the lock and under the covered bridge. There you follow the asphalt path along the creek behind Gordon’s garage. That path continues along the scenic creek until you get to Old Camp Road, cross at the brick cross walk and it takes you through Creekside park. The park ends at the corner of Canal and Old Camp Road.
Then you can walk on sidewalk passed the shops, you can draw it out by turning and heading toward Citizen’s Bank and then head toward the water at the light. The wooden boardwalk starts at the lighthouse and goes all the way to the hotel. From there head back to the bus depot. This walk is bit over a mile.
As others mentioned, there are nature walks in the south. The Hogeye Sink walk is about 3 miles, and golf carts are only allowed on a small portion. You do contend with bikes there.
