St Marks Attractions
In 1836, a railroad was built that connected Tallahassee with St. Marks - it is now dismantled. A historic trail offers a 16-mile paved trail for cyclists, hikers, horseback and skaters.
The St Marks National Wildlife Refuge covers over 68,000 acres along the Gulf of Mexico. Established in 1931 as a winter habitat for migratory birds, the refuge has grown to encompass diverse wildlife, which can be viewed throughout the year.
Within the refuge is St Marks Lighthouse built in 1831.
