Blackwater Heritage State Trail
This 8.5-mile paved trail winds through the town of Milton and ends at
Whiting Field Naval Air Station. It is available for biking, running, walking,
roller-skating, and horseback riding. Other popular activities are picnicking
and bird watching. Motorized vehicles are no permitted on the trail.
The trailhead is located on the corner of HWY. 87 and 90 in Milton and contains
a covered picnic shelter, restrooms, a water fountain, and a bicycle rack. The
visitor center is approximately one mile from the trailhead and offers two picnic
tables and parking.
The Blackwater Heritage Trail State Trail Citizen Support Organization
operates a concession at the visitor center where snacks and souvenirs can
be purchased. Benches have been located at various points along the trail
for visitor convenience. The equestrian parking lot is located about halfway

There is ample oversized parking available, as well as a newly constructed
