Old Railroad Trestle at Rice Creek



Railroad Trestle
On the north end of Rice Creek Conservation Area by Hwy 100 I found this old railroad trestle. I believe this was part of a railroad line that was formerly run by The Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad Company in the late 1800's. 

Today it is abandoned and is actually utilized as part of The Florida Trail out of Rice Creek Conservation Area. If you continue following this railroad grade it eventually leads into the Palatka Lake Butler State Trail.

I explored around the trestle and down by the creek, it is such a beautiful place. I couldn't help but envision the past when the trains crossed the creek here over 100 years ago.
