TRAIL SEGMENT RIBBON CUTTING |
DeBary leaders were on hand, along with Volusia County representatives, to help open a major portion of the trails, connecting the West DeBary Spring-to-Spring section of the St Johns River-to-Sea Loop and extending the trail all the way to Titusville.
The City is moving forward with a trail-first mindset, expanding and linking our bicycle and walking trails. Taking advantage of the fact that the 3 major Central Florida bike trails intersect at only one spot in their over 600 miles of trails – right here in DeBary – the City requires any new developments to provide trail connections, linking residents to the trails.
This year will be pivotal for DeBary as we continue to focus on our eco-tourism. With this new trail extension, we look forward to hosting even more trail enthusiasts!
