Trail
Length/Surface: 6.5 miles unpaved; 3.3 miles paved road.
Fee: Park Admission
County: Nassau
Nearby Towns: Fernandina Beach
Notes:
Traffic on the unpaved loop trail is one way for bikers and
helmets are required. Hikers may travel in either direction.
The trail begins at the fort parking lot and parallels the
park drive for approximately three miles, then crosses the
road and returns back toward the fort on the opposite side.
Parts of the trail are heavily forested and traverse ancient
dunes that are very steep, offering a challenge to off-road
bicyclists and hikers as well. The trail is also accessible
in several locations along the paved park drive.
The
paved park drive offers riding suitable for touring bicycles.
Please walk bikes on boardwalks leading to beaches. Biking
is not permitted on the pier. Florida laws require helmets
to be worn by all children 16 and under when bicycling roads
or trails. Children under 18 must be accompanied by parent
or guardian while bicycling in the park.
Willow
Pond Hiking Trail is also located centrally along the park
drive (not shown on map). For more details regarding this
trail and other amenities at Fort Clinch State Park, visit
