Florida Scenic Highways Program

Scenic Highways and Byways

The Florida Scenic Highways Program is intended to promote awareness of Florida's unique resources that are valued by the residents of Florida and the millions of tourists who visit the state each year. The program focuses on community-based support and resource protection; while seeking to promote regional economic benefits, that may result from corridor designation.

FSHP Designated

Prior to the beginning of the FSHP in 1996, there were nineteen highways designated as scenic or historic by the Florida Legislature. These highways are not officially part of the Florida Scenic Highway Program, but are separately designated and may have unique protections for their particular stretch of roadway. Several of these listings appear to be at least partial duplicates to each other, and a few also overlap the Florida Scenic Highway Program. These highways include:
