Driving Directions - contributed by Rich Kimmel
From Interstate 4, take the Lee Road exit east. Follow Lee until it dead-ends into U.S. 17-92, Orlando Avenue. Turn Right on Orlando and go three blocks past Winter Park Village, then turn left onto Morse Blvd. There is an Amtrak sign pointing in the right direction. Follow Morse to downtown Winter Park and the station is on the right. Park in the station parking lot.

Parking Details - contributed by Rich Kimmel
Several long-term spaces are available at the end of the parking lot, and a few short-term spaces re available on the side of the lot adjacent to the Amtrak lot on the west. The Amtrak lot is also free. The city lot is well-lit, but the Amtrak lot is not-so-well-lit. This part of Winter Park is pretty safe.
