Trail Overview

The longest remaining section of the Old Dixie Highway in Florida is an 11-mile stretch that runs from Espanola to US-13/Highway 204. This section is known as the Old Brick Road and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many sections of the Old Dixie Highway are now covered in sand and marked by potholes. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2 feet deep mud holes after rainy days. The section of the road in Bunnell is restricted on both sides and is fenced off. A small portion of the road is accessible via Forgotten Lane.

Difficulty

This is usually an easy road unless it is driven after heavy rain. Watch out for potholes.

History

The Dixie Highway was originally planned in 1914 to connect the Midwest to the South. It was part of a larger network of paved roads, rather than a single highway. The Dixie Highway was a vital route for trade, tourism, and people travel. The Old Dixie Highway was built with vitrified brick, a glazed brick that was resistant to moisture and chemical corrosion. The bricks were manufactured by the Graves Shale Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama.

Sugar like sand. At some points it felt a little challenging to control my car. Had to use Subaru X-mode dirt

Some extra sandy spots at about the half-way mark. Appears well maintained and plenty of room for two vehicles.
