Collier to Polk Regional Trail Master Plan

Closed

The Collier to Polk Regional Trail will provide a connected multi-use trail that traverses Collier, Hendry, Glades, Highlands, Hardee, and Polk counties. When completed, the project is expected to be approximately 200 miles. This regional trail is being developed to enhance economic and nature-based tourism potential within the multi-county study area that includes Florida’s Heartland, connect small towns, parks, preserves, heritage sites, and wildlife corridors, and enhance active transportation opportunities in the communities it will traverse. The Master Plan is currently underway to define high-level concepts and routing opportunities and to receive community input. It will be completed by July 2024. This will be followed by PD&E studies that will collectively identify the location and conceptual design of feasible alternatives for this long-distance trail.
