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.





Drive Enjoyment

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.

Tourism Opportunities

Only a couple of restaurants and a couple local stores on the road. Several small parks. View our Instagram stories on Stories ig - anonymous IG story viewer

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.

Love riding this route any time of the year. The oak canopy with the hanging Spanish moss can be breathtaking. Living near the north end of this road I get to drive it frequently and there are several parks to stop at to see beautiful sunsets and wander near the water to watch manatee.

Ride it all the time, great views of the St. John's river. Watch out for the Turkeys, they will walk out in front of you in mating season!
