State Road 252 (also known as the Jungle Trail) was part of A1A in northeastern Indian River County. The narrow, seven-and-a-half mile long road is located between Old Winter Beach Road and the current A1A, along the western side of Orchid Island, and is unpaved.

[edit] History

The road started as a means to quickly transport citrus to packinghouses on the mainland, then in the 1930s and 1940s became more used by tourists.[1] On August 1, 2003, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[2]
