The Lake Wales Trailway extends 1.5 miles from Kiwanis Park to 4th Street. It is a 12-ft wide asphalt trail suitable for biking, walking, skating and other fitness activities. Along this trail is a variety of vegetation, wildflowers and wildlife, such as raptors, butterflies, and song birds found only on the Lake Wales Ridge.

This trail is part of the former Seaboard Air Line Rail bed originally laid in 1916. Funding for this trail was provided by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The Lake Wales Trailway will soon be extended east to Buck Moore Road for a total of 2.3 miles. This extension will be completed by the end of 2008.
Warea is a rare endangered plant that is found growing on our ridge trail. Warea Amplexfolia
The trail features scenic views of Lake Wailes Lake and Bok Tower.
