Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway

Highlight • Trail

The Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway stretches 110 miles east-west across Central Florida, turning the unfinished Cross Florida Barge Canal into a multi-use linear park. This park covers over 70,000 acres and offers more than 300 miles of hiking, biking, paddling, and horseback riding trails while serving as a wildlife corridor. It is home to black bears and other wildlife and contains Florida’s first wildlife land bridge across an interstate. This area was initially developed as an ambitious canal project in the 1500s. The canal faced centuries of setbacks, so today, the greenway protects animals, the Ocklawaha River, and is a popular recreation spot.

Cross Florida Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

For hundreds of years the idea of creating a canal system across Florida has been debated. Numerous studies were undertaken and work was begun, and stopped, multiple times under a handful of different U.S. Presidents.

Luckily for outdoor enthusiasts, the work that was completed has now been converted into a vast greenway across much of central Florida. The 110-mile long Greenway now offers users the chance to hike, bike, kayak, and horse ride through a natural wildlife corridor.
