Embark on a road cycling adventure along the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, where you will pedal across historic bridges connecting mangrove-fringed islands. The route offers continuous views of the clear turquoise waters, making for a truly immersive experience. This moderate road cycling journey covers 40.2 miles (64.8 km) with a gentle elevation gain of only 95 feet (29 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 31 minutes to complete.
When planning your visit, be aware that while much of the trail is a dedicated multi-use path, some sections require you to share the road with vehicles. You might encounter narrow shoulders in these areas, particularly on parts of the Seven Mile Bridge, so stay alert. Strong winds can also be a factor, especially on exposed bridge sections, so check the forecast before you head out.
This trail provides a unique perspective on the Florida Keys, allowing you to observe marine life like sharks, manta rays, and turtles in the waters below the bridges. You will also pass significant landmarks, including Mile Marker 0 in Key West, which marks the southern end of U.S. Route 1. The route's design offers a blend of natural beauty and historical context, showcasing the engineering marvels that connect these islands.
