Discover water, wildlife, and wonderful adventures when bicycling in Cape Coral! Florida’s second-largest city by land mass offers a very special bicycling experience with more than 90 miles of interconnected bike routes bordering nature preserves, scenic canals, marinas, golf courses, and the expansive Caloosahatchee River. Where else can you cycle along safe, easy-to-navigate routes to an ecological park where you can walk or kayak through a pristine mangrove forest… or to an eco-park with a bird-watching tower, and a butterfly house… or to a marina with waterfront restaurants, ice cream/coffee shops, and specialty boutiques?

Thanks to a public/private partnership and years of thoughtful planning, the city has created eight dedicated bike routes with distinctive signage, informational maps, and kiosks highlighting the dozens of landmarks, facilities, and recreational activities you can take in on your ride. www.bikeleague.org/BFA.
