"Capital City to the Sea" Regional Trail System

A "Regional Trail System" is made up of several individual bike trails that link together to form a single, continuous biking opportunity. Plans for the Capital City to the Sea Trails System call for linking Tallahassee to the Gulf Coast via a series of connected trails in Wakulla and Leon Counties - envisioned as a continuous 120-mile biking loop. A view of this proposed system explains the short GF&A trail deep in the Apalachicola National Forest. Work continues on the Coastal Trail. Otherwise, closing the loop through the Forest doesn't seem to be a priority at this time.

Capital City to the Sea Trails System; Overview Page - The following 5 trails are part of the "Capital City to the Sea" Regional Trails System.
