A single-track bike trail from the Landbridge Trailhead connects to the Greenway’s internationally acclaimed 63-mile east/west mountain bike trail network including Santos. Trails for all levels of riders can be accessed from here.

Access to the newest paved trail on the greenway is available here also and goes 6 miles east to Santos or 10 miles west to State Road 200 from this location.

This trailhead also provides the closest access to the I-75 Landbridge over the interstate.

Geo-Seeking
Geo-Seeking

Geocaching is an outdoor game using hand-held global positioning systems (GPS) devices. It's effectively an inexpensive, interactive, high-tech treasure hunt that's a great way to learn geography. Participants use location coordinates to find caches. Some caches are easy to find; others are more difficult.

The biggest reward is the thrill of the search and the discovery of a place where you have never been. Geocaching should have minimal impact to the environment and conscientious land-use ethics should be followed.

  • Operation Recreation GeoTour
  • Numerous geocaches have been placed all along the Cross Florida Greenway. Locations are available via the various geocaching websites available online.
