Miccosukee Road, A Canopy Road<\/h2>\n
Miccosukee Road is an officially designated canopy road in Tallahassee, Florida. It runs northeast\/southwest from North Meridian Road by East Tennessee Street\/Highway 90 near downtown Tallahassee to Moccasin Gap Road\/Highway 142 in the historic community of Miccosukee, Florida.<\/p>\n
Miccosukee Road is paved and more highly-traveled than the unpaved canopy roads. Despite the road being paved, there are still high clay banks in places, a testament to the road\u2019s history. Some places have a ditch on the side of the road for water mitigation. There are no emergency lanes; the road and the shoulder are fairly narrow in places.<\/p>\n
From Fleischmann Road all the way to Crump Road, the Miccosukee Greenway parallels Miccosukee Road. The Miccosukee Greenway has a footpath\/bike trail\/horseback riding trail along its length. The trail crosses Miccosukee Road several times.<\/p>\n
Miccosukee Road was originally a Native American footpath and eventually became a route for plantations in the area to transport their cotton to market.<\/p>\n
