About This Trail

Imported description

The longest abandoned rail line in Florida is being used to build the East Central Regional Rail Trail. The state purchased the corridor from the Florida East Coast Railway in 2007, and turned it over to two counties for development and maintenance. The rail trail will cover 50 miles from Deltona to Edgewater, with a 10-mile leg through Brevard County. The first trail segement was opened in early 2012 from Providence Boulevard in Deltona to State Road 415. The trail is 12 feet wide and is accessible to a lot of people. There are benches and trash cans along the way.

From Wikipedia

East Coast Regional Rail Trail is a planned 52-mile paved multi-use trail in Volusia County, Florida and Brevard County, Florida connecting from Enterprise, Florida to Edgewater, Florida with a 10-mile leg to Titusville, Florida. From the trailhead at Green Springs Park, other trailheads are at Osteen, Maytown, Edgewater, and Titusville. It opened in March 2012 for use by walkers, joggers, in-line skaters, bicyclists, and people with disabilities. In September 2020, the trail is mostly completed with one 3-mile gap under construction. The trail includes portions of both the 250-mile Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail and 260-mile St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop.
