Hiking Florida Trails With an Exoskeleton
Florida trails are flat, but long, sandy and hot. A rented X Go adds a light push to every step so the walk back is still enjoyable.
Flat doesn't mean easy. Loose sand takes more effort than pavement, boardwalks invite long out-and-backs, and heat makes legs tire sooner.
Good first trails near Orlando
- Paved rail-trails like the West Orange Trail or Seminole Wekiva Trail.
- State park boardwalks through springs and wetlands.
- Firm dirt paths once you're comfortable. The X Go is happiest on firm ground; deep sand is hard work for any walker.
Hot-weather tips
- Start at sunrise and bring more water than you think.
- Charge the night before; use lower assist on the way out.
- Avoid flooded sections and dry the device if it gets wet.
Check each park's rules and conditions before you go; trails can close after storms or during prescribed burns.
