A great day at Silver Spring State Park as the Florida Greenways and Trails Council voted to designate 4 new Florida Trail Towns - 2 on the Loop! Deltona and Palatka were both awarded the designation - this makes 3 Trail Towns on the Loop now with Titusville, and DeBary and Enterprise are in process. The Deltona Lakeshore Trailhead was also awarded state Trailhead status. You'll be hearing more on this when the trailhead takes shape according to Jerry Mayes' plans. The Deltona team: Jerry, Lee Lopez, Pat Northey, Maggie Ardito, Georgia Turner, Herb Hiller. The Palatka team: Kraig McLane, Sam Carr, Robbie Corea, Linda Crider and a few others. The other newly designated Trail Towns are Everglades City and Inverness - all were well deserved and all the presentations were inspiring testimonials to what Florida towns are doing to become bike-friendly and encourage trails, and trail-oriented amenities and wellness programs.
