Vision

Visitors travel along SR 40 to access world-class resource-based recreational adventures and outdoor learning experiences in a vibrant, scenic landscape of natural pinelands and wetlands. The corridor between Ormond Beach and Silver Springs serves as the backbone for a network of scenic roads and interpretive trails that foster an understanding and appreciation of the Greater Ocala Ecoregion and its inhabitants. Visitors traverse a cross-section of landscapes as the corridor takes them over picturesque rivers, beside pristine springs, marshes, and swamps, and through sandhills, scrub, flatwoods, and hammock forests.
