Written Directions

Coming from the south, the road starts just a few miles NE of Hastings Fl off SR-207. Coming from the north, take I-295 to the SR-13 exit in Jacksonville. Its a busy 6 lane highway here but when it crosses over the Duval-St Johns County line it begins to narrow to 4 lanes and then eventually to a two lane country road.

Scenery

Heading north or south along SR-13 the St Johns River is often in plain site. There are numerous small communities as well with several parks. Lots of live Oaks and other shady trees make this a great ride.

Drive Enjoyment

There are not a lot of twisties although the road, for the most part, follows the river. Nicely paved..not many rough spots or potholes.

Tourism Opportunities

Only a couple of restaurants and a couple local stores on the road. Several small parks. View our Instagram stories on Stories ig - anonymous IG story viewer

Rode this in January after the Winter rally in Starke by the BMW NEF club. I was looking for an alternative road heading south and avoid I-95 as much as possible. It was a great choice as the views of the St. Johns are nice. Very little traffic out as well since I was there at 8:30 AM on a Sunday. I'd definitely ride it again when I'll get back up there.

To me this road is just ok... part of the reason is that this to me is a novice road. I chose to go this way one day because there were "curves" but it's more bends in the roads versus curves. The scenery is pretty though Ill give it that. Not much for tourism or places to eat on this direct route. All in all for a Florida road its not too bad.

I love this ride along the river, but with all the new construction, you need to watch for cars pulling out of driveways .
