Although there is no designated camping along this route, there are motels in several key areas. Once the heart of Central Florida’s cattle country and orange groves, the region encompassed by this segment has changed dramatically since the opening of Disney World. Where a scant decade ago you’d walk through rolling hills topped with orange groves, the landscape is crowded with vacation homes. Still, there are some interesting historical artifacts and preserved lands along the way. The FT also utilizes the Bill Johnston Memorial Pathway (connecting St. Cloud and Kissimmee) as part of the route, as well as a very unique piece of Florida history, a segment of the original Old Tampa Highway, opened in 1930, where you’ll walk on the very brick road (lined with cypress boards) that motorists first used to drive between Tampa and Orlando. 
The western end of this section is at the junction of SR 54 and US 27, north of the US 27/I-4 intersection. The eastern end is at the junction of CR 523 and Old Canoe Creek Road.
