Florida Scenic Highways
The Florida Scenic Highways Program is a grass-roots effort to heighten awareness of Florida's historical and intrinsic resources—cultural, recreational, natural, archeological, historical and scenic—which collectively, enhance the overall traveling experience. Program participation provides benefits to the community, such as resource preservation, enhancement and protection.
