Motorcycle Road Length: 38 Miles

Written Directions

Coming from the south, the road starts just a few miles NE of Hastings Fl off SR-207. Coming from the north, take I-295 to the SR-13 exit in Jacksonville. Its a busy 6 lane highway here but when it crosses over the Duval-St Johns County line it begins to narrow to 4 lanes and then eventually to a two lane country road.

Scenery

Heading north or south along SR-13 the St Johns River is often in plain site. There are numerous small communities as well with several parks. Lots of live Oaks and other shady trees make this a great ride.

Road Quality

There are not a lot of twisties although the road, for the most part, follows the river. Nicely paved..not many rough spots or potholes.

Roadside Amenities

Only a couple of restaurants and a couple local stores on the road. Several small parks.

Comment: Nice ride from SR16 to SR207. No traffic on a Sat afternoon. 45-55mph with several miles bordering the St. John's river.

Comment: While not long, this is one of, if not the most, scenic rides in North Florida as it winds along the St Johns River South of Jacksonville. Lots of big old Live Oak trees over hanging the road with Spanish moss hanging down, gives one the flavor of the old south. The views of the St Johns River, often only a few feet away are spectacular.

Comment: Great ride to SR 207. From there you can head East to St. Augustine or West to Palatka and pick up 17 to continue further South.
