THE LOOP
Come experience a unique and special part of old Florida you won't soon forget!
- Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail (OSLT) is a 34 mile double loop of roadways traversing some of the most beautiful and diverse natural scenery remaining in all of coastal central Florida. There is ready access to the Atlantic Ocean, North Peninsula, Bulow Creek and Tomoka State Parks. The roadway view includes vistas of rivers, creeks, marshes, dunes, and beaches.
- You can see those natural features balanced with over 300 years of history including The Casements, the winter residence of John D Rockefeller.
- There are several unique opportunities to view rare and protected wildlife on the beach, May-September is marine turtle nesting season and December-April the right whale migrates off our coast to birth their calves.
- Recreational opportunities abound with numerous parks and trails offering boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, bicycling, beach walking, and much more.

Four Road Projects Along the Loop
The OSLT has has been “under construction” this spring with four different roadwork projects going on simultaneously. On the mainland, Tomoka State Park is finishing up the paving of its road with asphalt and Highbridge Road has been closed since March 17th for repairs on the L.B. Knox Bridge. The Bridge is due to reopen on May 2nd and while the bridge “cured” for 45 days, Volusia County took the opportunity to repave Highbridge Road, something that was very much needed. Beachside, the ongoing secant wall project on A1A is slated to finish next February, 2026 and, most recently, the River-2-Sea Loop (R2S)/Sun Trail project has begun Phase One.
The A1A Secant Wall project along the northern portion of A1A is now replanting vegetation and trees to replace those removed during the installation of the walls meant to protect A1A from beach erosion.
The FDOT team for the S.R. A1A buried seawalls recently shared the following video which outlines the ongoing and upcoming work:
