Trail
Length/Surface: unpaved hiking, orange blazed trail, 68.7 total
miles
Fee: Admission fees may apply at some locations. Contact
the Forest Service for more information.
Counties: Liberty, Wakulla
Nearby Cities: St. Marks, Tallahassee
Notes:
Much of this trail is flat, dry pine and palmetto fields with occasional
titi swamps. Please be aware that in periods of heavy rain, certain
portions of the trail may be ankle to waist-deep in water.
The
primary Florida Trail is blazed orange. Blue blazes mark side trails
to campsites, access points or places of interest. Double blazes
indicate a change of direction, or that the trail is leaving an
obvious path. After you spot a double blaze, watch carefully for
the next blaze.
Register
boxes are stationed at points along the Florida Trail. Be sure to
sign in when you come to these locations. The registers provide
a valuable record of trail use and are of special importance to
rescue personnel.
The
Florida Trail Association (FTA) produces a detailed hiking guide
and segment-by-segment maps which are very useful for hiking the
Florida Trail. For more information on the Florida Trail or FTA,
visit their website at www.florida-trail.org.
The
attached map is intended to provide an overview of the trail location
within the Apalachicola National Forest. There are parking and camping
areas along the trail in addition to those shown on the map. For
detailed information regarding additional facilities, contact the
Forest Service or obtain the Florida Trail maps from FTA.
