Crossing Central Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Johns River is the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway which occupies much of the land formerly known as the Cross Florida Ship and later Barge Canal projects. A series of historic events transformed this corridor from one of the nation's largest uncompleted public works project to a world class greenway.

The Cross Florida Greenway originally began as a potential shipping route, today, due to carefully designed legislation, these former United States government ship and barge canal lands comprise one of the largest greenways under sole ownership in the United States. Along the approximate 110-mile corridor, which in most places is one mile wide, many natural and cultural resources may be found. The Greenway includes 117 known historic sites alone, providing recreation opportunities to a variety of trail users. These include hikers, paddlers, bicyclists, off-road bicyclists, equestrians, and carriages.
