On November 20, 1999, a ribbon was cut to officially open the first phase of the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail, located along the historical Charlotte Harbor & Northern Railroad easement parallel to County Road 771/Gasparilla Road on the Cape Haze peninsula in Charlotte County. The recreational trail was the brainchild of Ann Mercer, and the north trailhead is dedicated to Dr. Robert D. and Ann Mercer. About 8.5 miles in length today, the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail is managed by Charlotte County Community Services.
