St. Johns County is hosting a public workshop Thursday on what’s called the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop, a 260-mile multi-use trail in the works.

When it’s finished, it’ll be the longest multi-use loop trail in the Southeast  — and about 40 miles of it will run through St. Johns County, St. Augustine, and St. Augustine Beach.

The Loop will connect several major trail networks, including the 3,000-mile East Coast Greenway, which connects the entire eastern seaboard, and the 250-mile Coast to Coast Connector trail that links Titusville to St. Petersburg..

During Thursday’s public workshop, the county will give a progress update and talk about an ongoing planning study. During the meeting, the public will get the chance to offer feedback and learn about potential next steps.
