Marco Island received the official designation as a Florida Trail Town! A “Trail Town” in Florida is a community located along or in proximity to one or more long distance non-motorized recreational trails. The town is a safe place where both town residents and trail users can walk, bike, jog etc., find the goods and services they need, and easily access both the trail and the town. In such a town, the trail is an integral and important part of the community.
Residents use the trail to access work, schools, parks and shops.
Any trail, long or short, is an economic asset to a community. It provides free recreation for people of all ages and fitness levels, and offers opportunities to study nature or local history.
