Oviedo is a city in Seminole County, about 20 minutes northeast of downtown Orlando and next to the University of Central Florida area. People come for the outdoors at its edges, from the Cross Seminole Trail to paddling the Econlockhatchee River, and for a growing downtown built around Center Lake Park.
Things to do in Oviedo
Center Lake Park anchors the Oviedo on the Park district, with a lake loop, an amphitheater, a playground and a veterans tribute. The paved Cross Seminole Trail runs through the city, with the Black Hammock Trailhead to the north and an old rail bed heading on to Winter Springs. East of town, Little Big Econ State Forest protects a long stretch of the Econlockhatchee River, a popular paddling run, and its Barr Street Trailhead is a common start for hikes on the Florida Trail. The Black Hammock area toward Lake Jesup is known for airboat rides. In the old downtown, the Nelson and Company and R.W. Estes Celery Company Precooler historic districts recall the years when celery and citrus drove the local economy. The famous downtown chickens that once roamed the streets are no longer around.
