Running at Wilderness Lodge - Paths?

[proteus]

This year I won't stop my daily running routine and will go on the treadmill every day at the WLV gym. Being at the WL I also would like to run outside for the scenery. Anyone else do this or go between WL and Fort Wilderness, any paths to recommend and how long?

Thanks!

There is a paved path between WL and Ft Wilderness. WL end is near the guard shack. FW end is near the barn and petting area. This path is about 0.8 miles long. Then you can run all over FW if you like in the loops.

.8 miles, perfect. If I go there and back twice that is 3.2 miles which is my daily run. Thanks!

Enjoy your run. And while you are on the path, check out the wood for deer and other animals. Especially if you run early in the AM.

Check out DisneyRunning.com for paths and mileage info. Also, go with the advice to run the paths early in the morning. It was amazing to be running and have deer almost withing touching distance while running...loved running there.

You can do more mileage if you like by continuing into Fort Wilderness.

Deer? Wow, that will be fun, thanks for the tip and also the web site, I'll check it out tonight.

We will be staying at the CR in Feb - last time we stayed there I ran alongside the road and it wasn't great dodging the resort busses - is it possible to run to the Wilderness Lodge and then use the paths there or would I have to take resort transportation to get there?

You can't walk/run from CR to WL. You can take the boat directly from CR to WL.
