In December 1992, the abandoned railroad corridor was purchased from CSX Transportation Inc., through the Florida Greenways and Trails Program. This trail is part of a nation-wide, federally initiated “Rails to Trails” program designed to turn abandoned railroad lines into “linear parks”. The Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail is a 100 foot wide Right-of-Way (ROW) currently extending approximately 14.5 miles from Imeson Road in Jacksonville to the Town of Baldwin. A 12’ wide paved trail currently exists for hikers, bikers and roller-bladers to enjoy. An equestrian trail parallels the paved trail. The ROW is flat and passes through rural areas with abundant plant life, wildlife and trees. The trail is contiguous with the Camp Milton Historic Preserve, which serves as a mid-point trailhead. Five other trailheads along the Rail Trail are located at Imeson Road, Halsema Road, Otis Road, the old trail depot in the City of Baldwin, and Brandy Branch Road.  There are approx. 8.5 miles of spur trails onto the Jacksonville Rail Trail Buffer Properties that are designated for unpaved day hiking and equestrain use. Trailheads are located at the following locations: Imeson Road - 1800 Imeson Road, 32220 Camp Milton Historic Preserve - 1225 Halsema Road, 32220 Livestock Farm - 1172 Halsema Road, 32220 Otis Raod - 1380 Otis Road, 32220 Baldwin - 850 Center Street North, 32234 Brandy Branch Road - 89 Brandy Branch Road, 32234 Rail Trail Brochure Rail Trail Map   Get Directions
