The Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail stands out as a distinctive feature among Florida's state parks, promising a memorable experience.
This trail transforms a former railway line into a versatile path stretching from Tallahassee southward to St. Marks. Along this route, encounters with local wildlife are almost guaranteed. The trail is shaded by a lush forest canopy, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a workout. At the Wakulla Station Trailhead, amenities include picnic pavilions and an expansive playground, offering a delightful spot for a meal or a rest.
As you near the southern terminus, you'll find yourself near the culturally rich San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, a personal favorite due to its profound historical depth. Whether you're looking to log serious miles on a road bike, try out new rollerblades, or prefer a leisurely ride on a simple single-speed bike like myself, this trail accommodates all with its charm and convenience.
