LENGTH: The Flagler Trail will be 18 miles long when completed. The open portion of the trail is 12 miles long.

STATUS: The Flagler North Section from SR 46 to the St. John’s River is complete, as is the Flagler South Section from the Orange County Line in Chuluota to the Geneva Wilderness Area. There is; however, a “missing link” between CR 426 and SR 46 in Geneva.

OWNERSHIP & MAINTENANCE: The Flagler Trail is owned by Seminole County and maintained by Seminole County Parks and Recreation.

CHARACTER: The Flagler Trail is an unpaved wilderness trail located in rural Seminole County. Because of its length, scenic beauty, and accommodation of various activities, the Flagler Trail has been designated as one of the county's Showcase Trails.

HISTORY: The Flagler Trail is located along an abandoned railroad corridor that came to be known as State Road 13. The corridor was never used as a road, however, and the railroad was eventually abandoned in the fifties. The right-of-way was acquired by Seminole County in 1984 from the Florida Department of Transportation and was restricted to public use. Around 1975, the Florida Trail Association designated the southern portion of the trail as a part of the Florida National Scenic Trail, a designation that must be given by the U.S. Congress based on the length and scenic quality of a trail. It has been functioning as a public wilderness trail ever since.

FUTURE: Before the Department of Transportation abandoned State Road 13 right-of-way, they allowed segments to be used by private owners. This has created gaps in this area that may potentially be difficult to fill in the future. A survey of the area is currently underway to determine alternate pathways to connect the southern portion at CR 426 to the section north of S.R. 46.
