Long Boardwalk Walk through Jungle, Celebration
This is a gorgeous three and a half mile walk through jungly forest and past mansions. Park your car inside Evander Square apartments fairly near Malvern Hill Park. Walk through parking lot to the southeast corner of the complex and you will find a pond, tropical forest, and a walking trail. Turn left when you pass the gazebo and get to the T in the boardwalk (if you turn right, you can add a little extra boardwalk to your walk, check out the retention pond with alligator near Celebration High School, and then turn back to continue this walk). This is a long wooden boardwalk of amazing beauty! Continue along it until you reach Celebration Ave (turn back now if you only want to do a 2.2 mile walk). Turn left on Celebration Ave and pass a memorial park and then a beautiful lake on your left. Once you get to Spring Park, walk the narrow forest trail through the park. Then turn left on Spring Park Loop and walk a U past the mansions. Do a little detour on Abelia Street to check out the Downey Park fountain, but then go back to Spring Park Loop. Dive into the paved forest path at 931 Spring Park Loop. Turn left on the path and follow it all the way to a neighborhood. Turn left again and follow the path to a lake with swans. Follow the lake path (this part is only shady in the afternoon). You will end up in Evander Square apartments. Walk past their two lakes, one with a tall fountain. And head back to the southeast corner where your car is. This is a 3.5 mile walk.

After, get a meal or coffee at the Celebration Town Center.
