Gear Pickup & Drop-Off
Pick up is at Triangle Vinyl in downtown Clermont — 792 W Montrose St, Clermont, FL 34711. If you rented bikes, they'll be locked to the bike racks outside the storefront. Your confirmation email has your unique lock code.
Your bike locks use the last four digits of the phone number you used when booking your reservation.
All parking in downtown Clermont is open to the public. You'll likely find it easiest to park in the lots behind Triangle Vinyl, off Minneola Ave & 7th Street.
Every rental comes with a helmet, bottle cage, bike lock, and rear rack with bungees. Extra helmets in different sizes are kept inside Triangle Vinyl — just ask.
Water Rentals
Water rentals are available by request. Fill out the request form on our Book page and we'll reach back within one business day to confirm availability and set everything up.
There are four public launch points nearby: Clermont Boat House (1050 Victory Way) — closest and easiest; Waterfront Park (330 3rd St) — sandy beach launch, great for families; Lake Hiawatha Preserve (450 12th St) — quiet paddling, wildlife; Palatlakaha River Park (12325 Hull Rd) — better for kayaks or very confident paddleboarders, gators present.
Yes — but they'll leave you alone on a kayak or SUP in open water. They don't hang out in the middle of the lake. Avoid launching in marshy areas or in the reeds, and always use designated docks or public beach areas.
Completely natural! The color comes from the breakdown of organic material — leaves, bark, and roots from the native trees around our lakes. Lake Minneola is actually considered one of Florida's "pristine" waterways. Safe to paddle, beautiful to look at.
Local Tips
The Lake Minneola Shoreline or Back & Forth Through Town routes are both perfect for beginners. Both stay on paved trail, under 1.25 hours, and are easy on any fitness level. Check out our full Explore Guide for maps and details.
Absolutely — the trail is dog-friendly. Russo (our dog and unofficial mascot) personally approves. Just make sure your pup is comfortable on a leash for the trail portions.
Water, sunscreen, your phone, and a sense of adventure. We handle the helmet, lock, and gear. If you're doing a long ride, snacks are a great idea — there are also great food stops along the trail.
Downtown Clermont has fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream — all within easy reach of the trail. For our personal picks, check out the Explore page for our local favorites guide.
