The Orchard Pond Parkway, also known as County Road 0344 (CR 0344), is a controlled-access toll road, covering a distance of 5.2 miles (8.4 km) in the northern part of Leon County, Florida, acting as a partial bypass of Tallahassee and providing the only connection north of Interstate 10 between the northeastern and northwestern parts of the city. Replacing a dirt road that formerly covered the route, it opened in 2016; using open road tolling, it is considered to be the first privately built toll road to be constructed in the state of Florida. A multi-use trail parallels the road along the old dirt roadway.
