That's great. Does it go all the way to Lake Sumter Landing?

A 3/4 mile long trail is not nearly long enough to reach LSL. There is a map at the included link that shows where the trail goes.

Path to narrow
 
The path is so narrow that it will not be of much use in terms of enjoyment.

So narrow that two people cannot pass without one skewing their shoulders sideways. Unbelievably poor planning for the cost. :(

Sidewalk superintendents.

The trail is supposed to be six feet wide. How wide does a walking trail need to be?

Some beautiful scenery to enjoy. A nice addition to pedestrian offerings along with the walking trail at the First Responders Recreation Center.

Wonder what the width actually is. From a distance seems narrower than that.

walking trail
 
Does anyone have anything nice to say? If you don't like it, use the recreation trails... The Villages maintains beautiful common areas... be happy with what is available!::024:

You need prolonged exposure for either covid or monkeypox (not just passing my someone OUTSIDE). For monkeypox you need actual physical contact. But, you know that...

I think it's great! You won't have to worry about being run over by a golf cart. It sounds like there will be some shade so that is another bonus. The Villages just keeps getting better IMO :BigApplause:

For walking, it will be great.
