About the branch

LYNX Bus Link 107 South US 441 (South Orange Blossom Trail) / Kissimmee
LYNX Bus Link 8 W. Oak Ridge Rd. / International Dr.
LYNX Bus Link 40 Americana Blvd. / Universal Orlando

Located in the Orange Blossom Center, the South Trail Branch is an open, bright branch with lots of sunshine. The branch is located in a commercial center, adjacent to numerous multi-family housing units and is a popular spot for children and families.

The history of South Trail branch spans almost four decades. It began as the Ft. Gatlin branch at 105 Gatlin Avenue in 1965. The branch moved to the corner of Holden Avenue and South Orange Blossom Trail in 1981. The move across the street to the current site in the Orange Blossom Center took place in 1996.
