The Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail is unique to Florida State Parks and one you’re sure to enjoy.

A once-abandoned railway corridor that has been repurposed as a multiuse trail system, it takes you south from the city of Tallahassee all the way to the town of St. Marks. You’re sure to see wildlife along the way. The forested canopy overhead makes this a great place to get some exercise.

The Wakulla Station Trailhead features picnic pavilions and a boundless playground - a perfect place for lunch or just to pause for a break. The south end of the trail puts you close to San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, one of my favorite state parks because of its long-standing cultural significance.

The trail is a great place to rack up miles on a road bike, test out a new pair of skates, or if you’re like me, enjoy a casual ride on a single-speed cruiser.

If you have questions about the trail or wish to inquire about our numerous volunteer opportunities, please call the Tallahassee-St. Marks Administration Office at 850-487-7989.

I look forward to seeing you on the trail!
