Come experience a unique and special part of old Florida you won't soon forget!
Parks along the Loop include three Florida State Parks; North Peninsula State Park, Bulow Creek State Park, and Tomoka State Park as well as Volusia County parks and City of Ormond Beach parks. A large section of the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail runs along AIA where there are many Beach Access points. Our Fishing page has information on surf and bank fishing and locations of docks and bridges. Hiking trails are listed on our Hiking page.
Historic sites and other points of interest are listed on our On the Loop page.
All roadways are public access with no tolls. Please obey all speed limits and traffic laws, and watch for birds and animals crossing the roadways, especially at dawn and dusk.
The dangerous and invasive Brazilian Pepper tree is now in bloom! Please do your part to help curb its spread.
This is one of the most destructive trees growing along the Loop, smothering our native trees and shrubs. If you have this tree in your yard or nearby, please, at the very least, cut all the blossoms and seed branches off the tree so they cannot ripen. Do not handle the tree with your hands - WEAR GLOVES and read the attached link about cutting and disposal of the branches and seeds. Every ripe, red seed eaten by a bird can be further distributed to make more Brazilian Pepper trees.

In order to keep you informed about what's happening on the Loop OSLT is sharing information we have received about the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) upcoming A1A projects.
Status update on the three projects that will likely have the most interest residents along the Loop.
We will post updates as they become available.
This project plans to resurface this segment of S.R. A1A and provide pedestrian enhancements such as six new midblock crossings equipped with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), a wider sidewalk on the west side of the road, and a new sidewalk on the east side of the road north of Standish Drive. Additionally, small medians will be introduced to help encourage safer driving speeds. This project is in design and expected to start construction in late summer 2024.
The purpose of this project is to resurface this segment of S.R. A1A and evaluate other potential improvements to help manage speeds and to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project is set to begin design later this month, with construction scheduled to begin fall 2025. A public meeting for this project will be held later in design.
The project team continues to work on securing the necessary permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and other regulatory agencies. The permitting process will dictate when work can begin. The Department is striving to be able to start work late this year. Because of permits, it is likely construction will begin on the Flagler County portion first. FDOT is also coordinating with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Flagler County to ensure the wall construction does not interfere with the beach renourishment project expected to begin next summer.
NOTE: The project team has offered to attend a future meeting of the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail to provide an update, perhaps later this fall once they have a completed design and a better idea of construction activities.
