Deputy Secretary for Land and Recreation Bob Ballard will participate in a
ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the DEP Office of Greenways and Trails to mark
the completion of the first newly resurfaced section of the Tallahassee-St.
Marks Historic Railroad State Trail on Wednesday, October 13 at 11:00 a.m.
Deputy Secretary Ballard will officially open the first completed segment of
the resurfaced trail, beginning at its southern terminus in the City of St.
Marks, extending three miles north to Highway 98. The Deputy Secretary will be
joined by Mayor of the City of St. Marks Phil Cantner, members of the Florida
Greenways and Trails Council and Will Seccombe, Chief Marketing Officer for
VISIT FLORIDA, who will discuss a new trails website.
The St. Marks Trail was the first rail-trial in the state trail system to be
paved and has provided Floridians more than 20 years of service. The resurfacing
project, which began in June of 2010, is being constructed in two phases and
will improve public safety and usability for future generations.
