We read that the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway has a land bridge and we wanted to see one in person, so we decided to bike it. There are plans for the trail to extend all the way across Florida. Currently only 15.6 miles of it are completed from the Santos Trailhead to CR 200.


We started at the Santos Trailhead.

This is the land bridge itself. There is some land on either side of this path, although it's not quite as much as I had pictured.

There are a couple of places on the land bridge to get a view of the interstate over which the trail passes.

Thank goodness for the land bridge - wouldn't want to try to cross all that on a bicycle.

Just before reaching the land bridge again, Eric got a flat tire. Thankfully, just after the land bridge is another trail access point, so Eric walked his bike there while I rode back to our van then drove to pick him up.

So, in the end Cara rode 32.1 miles, and Eric rode 25.07 miles. Aside from Eric having to walk his bike a couple of miles, we both enjoyed the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. Here is the Relive vide of Eric's ride, which includes many more photos:
