3 Amazing Stops on the Historical Florida Cracker Trail

Did you know that you can follow in the footsteps of Florida Cracker Cowboys? The Florida Cracker Trail marks some of the historical routes that our cattle ranchers and their helpers traveled, as they moved vast herds of cattle across the state.

On November 20, 2000 the Florida Cracker Trail was designated as a Community Millennium Trail and protected. The Millennium Trails is an initiative by the White House Millennium Council, and the Federal Department of Transportation, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and the National Endowment for the arts. Other private agencies and charitable organizations participated in protecting this important piece of Florida history for future generations to enjoy.
