Archer Braid

Build the Archer Braid Trail as designed–to connect the communities of Archer, Haile Plantation, UF and Gainesville.

Why is this important?

The Archer Braid has been in the planning process for many years, but now some special interests in Haile Plantation are trying to move the trail and not connect this diverse community of 10,000 residents. This trail is in the public right of way and many in Haile support the trail, but the combined HOA boards are working to move the trail outside of neighborhood. This trail is an amenity that would increase safety, connect people with businesses, work and recreation, and would contribute to the overall health of the community.
