The St. Croix
Heritage Trail is a 72-mile driving tour connecting
the Caribbean island's historic sites and
attractions and includes many significant
natural areas. Historic marker road signs
with the trail's brown and white sugar mill
symbol guide visitors along the route which
runs between Frederiksted and Christiansted,
primarily along Centerline Road, extending
north to Hamm's Bay in the west and Point
Udall in the East.
Providing linkages
between attractions such as Estate Whim
Plantation Museum, St. George Village Botanical
Garden, and the island's two historic districts,
the trail also includes many lesser-known
places such as the sugar plantation ruins
at Rust op Twist, the Senepol Cattle cultural
landscape of the South Shore, Smithen's
Garden Market, where you can sample freshly-squeezed
cane juice and Maroon Ridge overlook. The
St. Croix Heritage Trail goes along scenic
coastline, through cattle country, tropical
forest and to historic seaport towns. It's
a very diverse island in many ways.
