Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail

The OSLT is a 34 mile double loop of roads here in Ormond Beach Florida. It runs next to the Atlantic Ocean, through Tomoka State Park and Bulow Creek State Park.
Bike trails and hiking trails abound.

Marine Turtles next on the beach in May-September and Right Whales migrate off the coast to calf in December thru April. Of course, like most Florida waterways, Alligators abound, as does many types of birds and other wildlife.

One of my favorite things is the Spanish Moss that grows and hangs from many, many trees here, like this section over the road. It has an even better spooky quality in the evening hours and fading light.

This video below taken with GoPro is just a glimpse of the North portion of the trail, driving on High Bridge Road, Walter Boardman Ln. and a small portion of Old Dixie Highway.

Here is a map of the full loop, courtesy of the Ormondscenicloopandtrail.com website. It's just a little south of some of the Flagler beach #drone videos I've shared previously. Check their site for more info or if you're interested in visiting.

Of course it's not all sunny days and nice weather here in Florida. One of the things we do have to worry about is Hurricanes. Currently Helene is just a few hours away from terrorizing the folks in the panhandle of Florida and moving north into Georgia. We will certainly see some strong winds and rain from it that has already begun, but very glad to not be in the direct path. These roads will certainly be flooded and impassable for a day or so.

Hopefully anyone here that is in the path of Helene are making their way to safer locations for the night. They are predicting a 20 ft storm surge up there in the big bend area of the panhandle. 20 feet! I can't even imagine that, it seems like something from a movie.
