The Old Florida Heritage Highway is a corridor in the Department of Transportation Florida Scenic Highway Program. This program exists to preserve, maintain, protect, and enhance the intrinsic resources of scenic corridors through a sustainable balance of conservation and land use.

The Florida Scenic Highway Program was designed to showcase the outstanding cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic intrinsic resources along Florida's state highways.

This community-based, grass roots effort focuses on resource protection while educating travelers by "telling a story" that represents Florida lifestyles and unique intrinsic resources.

The Old Florida Heritage Highway and its loop/spur roads total approximately 48 (forty-eight) miles from State Road 441 to Alachua/Marion County line.
