Take the scenic route: Palm Beach Lake Trail
Riding along the western edge of Palm Beach, this 5½-mile trail affords both dramatic vistas and intimate peeks into some of the island’s most palatial properties. You’ll pass landmarks like the Flagler Museum and a giant kapok tree, originally brought to Florida from the Amazon, along South Lake Trail, Whitehall Way and The Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach. The trail has two interruptions where walkers must navigate sidewalks and an intersection, but the trail is otherwise complete and well maintained.
This old, meandering path takes you along walls draped with bougainvillea and ivy, where the people of Palm Beach mingle with anyone who wishes to take a walk or ride along one of the most scenic spots in Florida.

In addition to viewing some famous Florida landmarks, you'll also get a glimpse of some of the back yards bordering stunning private homes, while you stop to snap a photo of Lake Worth Lagoon and the West Palm Beach skyline before reaching the world-famous Sailfish Club, with its colorful sailboats and impressive yachts.
