Other winter activities include ice skating, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and snow tubing.
Winter Park's hype doesn't fizzle out after winter. It's also known as the mountain bike capital of the world with over 40 miles of downhill mountain bike trails at Trestle Bike Park. The summers also boast music festivals at the Rendezvous Event Center, cross country biking, hiking and fishing.
Downtown Winter Park features an array of dining options with something for everyone. If shopping is more your thing, check out the shops at Cooper Creek Square. Clear your palette at one of the local breweries, distilleries or wine bars.
Local real estate agents separate Winter Park into two different market areas. The first is "Old Town" which includes the area at or near the base village of Winter Park Resort. Most of these properties are ski in/ski out residences that appeal to ski enthusiasts from near and far.
