State Road 713 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Florida locally known as Kings Highway and Turnpike Feeder Road. The 10.2-mile (16.4 km)-long, two-lane north–south road is a popular truck route connecting SR 70 in Fort Pierce to the south and U.S. Route 1 (SR 5) between Viking and Florida Ridge to the north. While urbanization is encroaching upon SR 713 north of SR 68, most of SR 713 passes through woodland interspersed with orange groves. Near the southern terminus is Fort Pierce Jai-Alai.
