The Cedar Key Railroad Trestle Nature Trail is a lovely 1,700-foot rail trail located on the barrier island that contains the city of Cedar Key, accessible via State Road 24. The trail follows the route of a former railroad line that connected Cedar Key to nearby Fernandia Beach, which operated between 1861 and 1932. Lush native vegetation surrounds the trail, which is populated by a variety of native migratory and shorebird species. At the end of the trail, a shallow bay is home to a number of preserved trestle posts which formerly held up a bridge carrying trains across the water to Cedar Key. Visitors should note that bicycles are not permitted on the path due to its sandy, uneven terrain.
