Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway Park

Wonderful park full of wide paved trails for walking, running or biking, dog friendly, child playground, nature trails for bird watching or cross state hiking with markers, encouraging signs and benches for resting. No water on trails so bring a water bottle and enjoy.

We did a quick stop just to check this park. Has a nice clean rest room, picnic area and a nice trail. Walk on it a little did have much time to walk far due to some mosquitoes.

The Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway is the epitome of what a bike trail should be.The asphalt blacktop looks newly paved and is almost perfectly smooth the entire 15+ mile ride. It is plenty wide for two way traffic and passing with lots of nice curves and some hills passing through some truly beautiful woodlands in Central Florida just outside of Ocala. Wildlife abounds along its entire length. An added bonus is the 100's of miles of mountain bike trails that intersect along its length in many places. It is super well maintained and marked throughout on the pavement for any emergency that may need reporting. There are only a couple of road crossings with the majority being underpasses and a very unique overpass over Interstate 75. Anywhere there is a blind corner there are large round cornering mirrors and signs to notify you to slow appropriately. There are water and toilet facilities at the Santos Trailhead and further down their is an equestrian campground that also has accessible facilities. If you plan for a down and back ride it is a great workout and make sure to bring some hydration. A large part of the ride is shaded but there is enough sun exposure to warrant sunscreen. All and all, this is a top teir bike trail and worth the drive to get there if you have to travel. Truly My New Favorite Bike Trail! Highly Recommended!!!

Great family park, things for all ages to do. If you want to host a birthday party make sure to either make reservations or check to see that you party doesn't collide with another reservation. Very popular and active park!

Every time I go back home I take a walk with the family down this greenway. It's great for hiking and biking. The paved trails are well kept and a nice ride on a road bike, but the plethora of dirt trails allow for a fun ride as well. Highly recommend visiting during the blackberry season. They make for great snacks as you're out exploring.
