Gainesville Loop

Scenic Ride 23

You don’t have to be a Gator fan to enjoy this ride which circles through the woodlands and prairies surrounding Alachua county’s largest city. The route includes a portion of the Old Florida Heritage highway as you roll across Paynes Prairie Reserve. Time seems to have stood still in Micanopy, a small town with stately mansions and historic homesteads. You’ll find some history, nature, and culture all in one ride.
