Clermont's Waterfront Park
Clermont Clay Trail
Lake Louisa State park

Waterfront Park is located along Lake Minneola, between East Avenue and Eighth Street. A fitness trail that is part of a 30-mile system, and will be part of the coast-to-coast trail, runs through the park and provides a great path for running, walking and jogging. It connects to the West Orange Trail via a great shaded bike path.

October 2022 Update: The Clay Trail is currently closed due to construction on Wellness Way. Check back periodically for new information.
The Clermont Clay Trail is a 10 mile loop on back roads with rolling hills, with a few steep ones, help to provide variety. Expect great views the entire way. This trail is a favorite of local triathletes and running groups, but it’s good for all visitors who want to enjoy the softer surface. 

The natural theme park of Lake Louisa State Park showcases a diversity of wildlife, including deer, bobcat, gopher tortoises, fox squirrel and flighted creatures like bald eagles and osprey.

Running and bicycling is popular on the park’s seven miles of paved roads over rolling hills and on the 20 miles of unpaved multi-use trails.

Knowledgeable, friendly and patient staff. They ask questions to help them find the shoe that will work best for your foot's comfort while providing your foot with the best comfort.

Annette was awesome! She helped my wife find the right shoe for her narrow foot with the proper insert to relieve pressure on her metatarsal stress fractures.

Dash Sports is wonderful. I just told them my feet problems and they went to work. I have CRPS in my feet and also extensive nerve damage and haven't wore a tennis shoe for years due to the pain of a closed shoe. They fit me with wonderful socks and a pair of Brooks tennis shoes. I did even have to tell them my size. I am so very happy.

The staff was very helpful in getting me a shoe and compression sleeve that I needed. When I arrived, I had no idea what I was looking for. They give you a form to fill out describing why I you came to them, and the issues that I was having. I was recommended by my doctor, and I will definitely recommend them in the future. Excellent customer service.

I am a fan for life. I have been wearing inserts for nearly 40 years. I have tried everything. A foot doctor made one, the do it yourself ones in Walgreens. Good feet cost me $1200 and still always had a problem. Annette took a look at the way I was walking in them and fit me with a sneaker I now wear everywhere. Just went back and got another one and a hiking shoe. Thanks Annette and Door Dash. See you next time.

I had an amazing experience with Nick and Annette while shopping for running and pickleball shoes. Not only did they help me find the perfect pair, but they treated my wife and sister with exceptional care, ensuring they walked away with great shoes too—my wife got two pairs, and my sister got one. Nick’s knowledge of nutrition and marathon running was an unexpected bonus, providing valuable insights. The store is well-organized and straight to the point, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend their expertise and the great customer service!

Once again, Dash Sports can through with great service. My running gate was analyzed by their expert shoe fitter and I was able to test out several different pairs on their treadmill. Very happy with the outcome.
