The Hardy Trail is a paved multi-use recreational trail in Dade City, Florida. It is 1miles long and wide. It follows the path of a segment of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad line where it ran through Dade City. This line was originally built between Zephyrhills and Lacoochee by the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad,[1] [2] but was abandoned in the 1970's after SAL merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1967. It was named after former residents Roy and Martha Hardy, and is used primarily by local residents seeking exercise and recreation. The southern half of the trail is nearly always shaded by the woods through which it runs.A visitor information center is now under construction at the northern end where the trail meets Church Street.
