This hiking trail used to be 'Central' street in Homosassa. About a 5 mile trek to W Yulee Dr. Hog Pond is about midway. Woodsy and scenic, although can be hot. We have walked through to the Red Mill for lunch then Uber'd back.

Old Florida scenes. The road meanders over vast salt marshes dotted by islands of sabal palm an cedar. End at Ozello community park for Gulf views - especially sunsets. Peck's Old Port Cove Restaurant is a good stop. The Island Outpost is a cute locals place too.

Arts & Culture

Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park contains the ruins of a sugar plantation owned by David Levy Yulee. After Florida became a state, he was elected by the legislature in 1845 to the US Senate, becoming the first American of Jewish heritage to serve there. At Homosassa, Yulee established a sugarcane plantation, which was destroyed during the American Civil War. The original plantation covered more than 5,000 acres, and was worked by approximately 1,000 enslaved African Americans. They raised sugarcane, citrus, and cotton. The large mill (which was steam-driven) ran from 1851 to 1864. It produced sugar, syrup and molasses, the latter used in making rum.
