United States SR-65 • US-98 Difficulty: 4/10

The Forgotten Coast Highway & Apalachicola Forest (SR-65 / US-98)

Florida's wildest, least commercialized coastal ride. Slices straight through the remote wilderness of Apalachicola National Forest on SR-65 to Carrabelle, then latches onto US-98 running directly along the surf line of St. George Sound and Apalachicola Bay with zero seawalls or condos blocking the gulf view. Famous for roadside fresh oyster stands and soaring bridge approaches.
