Cross Florida Greenway Trail

Today we biked 15 miles on the Cross Florida Greenway Trail which runs 110 miles across the state. This section has a limerock road for service vehicles/hikers/bikers/equestrians, but the Ocala Mountain Bike Association also built and maintains parallel trails, of both beginner and intermediate difficulty. The Florida Trail for hikers and an equestrian trail also run through this segment of the greenway.



Crossing central Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Johns River is this premier greenway, occupying much of the land formerly known as the Cross Florida Barge Canal. It was officially renamed the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway in honor of the individual who led the fight to stop the Cross Florida Barge Canal project. The corridor traverses a wide variety of natural habitats and offers a variety of trails and recreation areas where visitors can experience the wonders of Florida in their own recreational style, be it on foot, mountain bike, or horse.


I reported on this trail earlier in this post.
