Imagine a wilderness reclaimed from history—110 miles of untamed trails carved from an abandoned barge canal, now a paradise for adventurers. Welcome to the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway, where mountain bikers conquer rugged terrain, paddlers glide through forgotten waterways, and hikers trek scenic landscapes shaped by time.
Our book, The Cross Florida Greenway Trail Adventure, is your guide to this extraordinary journey. Whether you’re mountain biking the legendary Vortex Red Trail, kayaking the wild Ocklawaha River, or setting out on a multi-day expedition across Florida’s most diverse park, we map out thrilling experiences, historical landmarks, and the best places to eat, camp, and explore. More than just a trail guide, this book dives into the rich history behind the Greenway—how a failed canal project became a triumph of conservation, thanks to visionaries like Marjorie Harris Carr. It’s the story of a landscape transformed, and the adventure it now offers to those ready to embrace Florida’s wild side. Are you ready for the ride?
