Alternate Multi-Use Trail Route Study
Prepared for The Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park
PROJECT PURPOSE, GOALS AND OBJECTIVE The purpose of this analysis is to conduct a review of existing and future regional multi-use trail systems, evaluate the existing trails and pathways within the core area of the Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park (the Park) and review potential alternatives for a primary accessway for visitors traveling on bicycles to enter the park.
The goal is to determine the most practical and scenic options for routing and alignment with the least amount of impacts to the existing man-made elements and the natural landscape setting. The primary objective is to provide a safe, well defined route for cyclists to enter the park, minimize conflicts with automobile traffic to the greatest extent practical, and to maintain access through the existing Ranger Station.
