Santos now claims at least 60 miles of mountain bike trails over 85 miles of singletrack, all in one trail system. Add in a campground on-site, advanced trail features such as drops, jumps, wooden bridges, and a pumptrack, and you have a bona fide mountain bike destination in the heart of Florida. And while this destination is worthy of a drive, with 60ish miles of singletrack it’s pretty easy to see everything there is to see in a weekend of riding.
